I've been following the manual to set this up: ,----- | 1. You have enabled the habits module by customizing the variable org-modules. CHECK | 2. The habit is a TODO item, with a TODO keyword representing an open state. CHECK | 3. The property STYLE is set to the value habit. CHECK | 4. The TODO has a scheduled date, usually with a .+ style repeat interval... CHECK | 5. The TODO may also have minimum and maximum ranges specified by using the syntax =E2=80=98.+2d/3d=E2=80=99... CHECK | 6. You must also have state logging for the DONE state enabled... THINK S= O `----- I have mid-year and yearly reviews and *always* kick myself for not recording things I've done regularly, such that I end up scouring the earth for details about what I did in emails, calendar items, and org files. I'd like to do this monthly to save me 2x/year headaches. So... enter my first attempt at implementing habits: ----- ** todo note down month's accomplishments/contributions SCHEDULED: <2011-08-20 Sat .+25d/35d> :LOGBOOK: - State "done" from "todo" [2011-07-26 Tue 16:02] - State "done" from "todo" [2011-07-26 Tue 16:02] :END: :PROPERTIES: :STYLE: habit :LAST_REPEAT: [2011-07-26 Tue 16:02] :END: ----- Note that above for #6, I said I thought so. I'm saying that as the todo -> done state appears to be tracked above in my cycling. Typically, I just get a completed inactive time stamp and it gets marked done. The fact that it stays open I'm guessing means the habit is working. But... I have a couple of questions: #1: the habits aren't showing up in agenda. I did =3DC-c a a=3D, then =3Dv y=3D and accepted that I really wanted to see the year. I get no monthly views of the above habit, despite seeing the minibuffer mode as "Org-agenda Year Dds Grid Habit" If I press =3DK=3D, it tells me that habits have been turned off, so I know they were on. #2: I just don't understand this at all (from the manual): ,----- | What's really useful about habits is that they are displayed along with a consistency graph, | to show how consistent you've been at getting that task done in the past. This graph shows | every day that the task was done over the past three weeks, with colors for each day. | | Followed by overview of what the colors mean... `----- Where is this graph? I don't see any colors. The worg tutorial doesn't mention the word graph anywhere, and only shows making a table manually to document progress. It also doesn't mention the word color. Thanks for any suggestions. It's my first time, so it's probably that I've missed something silly in my setup or have a typo. Thanks! John
