How often do you start Emacs? I do that maybe once a week.

I start Emacs every few minutes, for Org mode notes.

You do not have to start a new instance of Emacs every time. You can tell emacs to start a server and then use emacsclient to connect to your already running instance of emacs.

Thank you Alex. I'm configuring that now.
