Sorry if that sounds like clickbait, coming up with good e-mail subjects can be time consuming sometimes.I sometimes wish I would have written what I have done during the day, to keep track of my activity.
I have recently adopted a workflow where I would open a new YYYYMMDD.log file on a daily basis and write try to keep a log of my daily activities.I then switched to howm, but that's just a detail which helps me browse files more conveniently.
After approx 15 days of using this method, I find that at some days I forgot to write a lot of what I got done, or timewasters that kept me busy instead of doing actual work.
I was thinking about setting some sort of reminder that would ask me, every hour (or half an hour) what I was doing ? so that I would be reminded of writing something in the activity log file.
What do you guys think ? is emacs the good place to set such a reminder (I often use the browser so I might skip some notifications it they would only show in the emacs window, I guess... but then I don't think I'd spend a whole hour without looking at the emacs window at least once so this shouldn't be a problem I guess, I don't know... what do you think ?)

Not really an answer, but you could use zenity or notify-send (at least
on Linux, don't know about other platforms) to get desktop notifications
from within Emacs.
Cheers,

Thanks for the comment Dan, so I would have to find a way to set a timer in emacs which would then call zenity or notify-send in some way I guess ?

I guess so. However try first if any of them work, last time I used them
was in the Gnome 2 days and I think I encountered some issues with Mate
and i3.
Concerning the timer in Emacs, you could give run-at-time a try (see
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Timers.html#Timers)
Cheers,
Dan
