 Configure =org-mode=. I use =~/org= as my =org= directory and hide emphasis markers because it's much easier to read that way. I enable =org-crypt= to allow reading and writing encrypted =org= files. I also replace bullets in bulleted lists with nicer looking icons. I configure faces to default to variable-width font, but switching to monospace where it is necessary. Finally, I use =visual-fill-column= to make =org= files display with a relatively narrow window centred in the frame.
