-A lot of my current Org mode configuration consists of relics of previous organizational systems, including the TODO states and capture templates. I don't currently use these, as most of my Org mode use has shifted towards Org-roam, so it might be a good idea to replace these with something more useful.

 When Company is active, its keybindings overshadow the default ones, meaning keys like =RET= no longer work.

 ** Enhancements
 
 While Org-mode provides a very comprehensive set of tools and systems, there are a few small things that are missing or that would make the overall UX smoother. Luckily, Org-mode being implemented as an Emacs package gives us more than enough control over its function to crowbar in a few new features!
