Remember: append will return a new list - it does *not* modify its
argument.

Here are some alternatives - to add at the beginning of org-modules:

        (setq org-modules (cons 'org-habit org-modules)

or at the end:

        (setq org-modules (append org-modules '(org-habit)))

It might be better to use the add-to-list function instead though
because it checks if the element is already in the list and only adds it
if it is not - not that this function *does* modify its argument so you
don't need to assign the result to org-modules:

        (add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-habit)

or to add to the end of the list:

        (add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-habit t)


[In all cases, watch the quotes!]
