Looking for elisp package to help form good habits

Looking for elisp package to help form good habits

Hi emacsers

As the time going, I'm always trying to push myself to form these or those
good habits.
But it's quite hard, and I used to forget them, when I am off the feet
everyday.

I'm wondering, is there any elisp package can help me to form habits.
Like show some random messages from a file in the minibuffer times and times
again.

Any comment is welcome. Reinventing the wheel with my pool hammer, would be
my last choice.

Thanks & Regards

At the second thought, I actually don't care about the random pick of
habits.
Thus diary-mode can meet my requirement.

Thanks all the same.

Maybe you want to try pause.el that will remind you to take a pause
and do a yoga exercise it points to if you want to.

Hi Denny,

There is org-habit.el in Org-mode by John Wiegley. See section 5.3.3 of
the manual

http://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html#Tracking-your-habits

Hi Dan & lennart

Thank you very much.

I will try both pause.el  and org-habit.el, and get the response to you, if
necessary.
They all looks very interesting! Thanks again.

Regards,
Denny

You don't even need org-habit-el, I think -
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tracking-habits.php (in case
your emacs / orgmode version doesn't support org-habit).

Of course, getting into the habit of checking orgmode...
