Hi all, I want to pop up certain text periodically (e.g. once an hour)
in Emacs. The text is about telling me to check email, drink water, etc.
Is there any elisp template? Thanks.
Best regards,
Shenli

The easiest way provided you restart Emacs every day is
something along the lines of:
| (require 'appt)
| (appt-activate)
| (dotimes (hour 24)
| (appt-add (format "%02d:00" hour) "Take a break!"))
Unfortunately, appt does not require you to acknowledge the
message so you might miss it if you don't pay attention.
