Simply a documented history of habits? > Or is it something else (perhaps the colored thing in agenda view)? The colored graph in your agenda view. A setting of org-habit-following-days 7 org-habit-preceding-days 21 org-habit-show-habits-only-for-today t will show that graph, representing the past 3 weeks and the next week ahead in your *daily* Agenda for today. If you have a task like "Water plants" that should be done .+2d/4d, you will see how well you have been keeping up with it: "*" marks DONE, "!" marks today. The background color reminds you of the "range" you set up: Green is great, yellow is okay, red is ... bad ;). > Lastly, if that graph *is* the colored bar in agenda, I notice that > it's cutting off most of my text. For example, this updated bit: Yes, better to keep the headlines short for habits or the graph will cut it off. > The space between "acc" and the "!" is filled with blue, then green, > then a yellow, and then a red square(s).

If you are ahead, on schedule, late for this *current* habit now (!) and for the past e.g. three weeks (asterisk). Memnon
