Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way.

Org-mode as todo list manager
As previously stated, Org-mode is first created as an outliner enabling you to manage tasks. Here's some of the features you might be interested when using it as such.
Repeated tasks
Org-mode features repeated tasks and it looks like the following.
SCHEDULED: <2020-06-22 Mon +2d>
Any missed session will cause the agenda to keep overdued sessions and accumulate to repeat the tasks 'X' number of times with the number of overdued sessions.
Some tasks does not work this way, however. You don't need to replace the batteries 5 times or brush your teeth 10 times to make up for it. For this, you can do the following.
SCHEDULED: <2020-06-22 Mon ++2d>
One cool thing about it if you mark a task as done, it will simply create an entry of the task completed and update the base date.

- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2020-06-22 Mon 22:01]
This will also integrate with certain features like the agenda views. You can see future entries along with the number of times you have to do to make up for the missed sessions.
