I did have this in here before and the code to set it back was still
at the end of the file, so not sure what happened there.  I guess I
accidentally removed it at some point.

** Journal Files
Sometimes I like to make a todo list for a day if I've a lot to do,
or write a little bit about a day if it's been particularly
eventful. In both of these cases, it would be nice to just be able
to hit a particular keybinding and have the right buffer pop up. I
was using =org-roam='s daily notes feature for this, but I ended up
getting annoyed with =org-roam= (too many features for my taste
lol).
The convention I'm going for is for is having a particular
directory for these journal entries and then give each file a name
like "2022-10-30.org". With that in mind, there are two obvious
variables to define:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar journal-directory
"~/Documents/org/journal"
"Directory to store journal entries in.")
(defvar journal-filename-format
"%F"
"Date format to use for journal entries' filenames (not including
the \".org\" extension)")
#+end_src
I can't be bothered to handle [[help:journal-directory][journal-directory]] not existing in the
main code, so I'm just going to make sure it exists here. The
second argument to [[help:make-directory][make-directory]] specifies to create parent
directories too if necessary.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(unless (file-directory-p journal-directory)
(make-directory journal-directory t))
#+end_src
The next step is to define a function to determine the filename for
today's journal entry. This is fairly straightforward, using
[[help:format-time-string][format-time-string]] to get the current date in the right format,
then sticking that together with the directory, extension, etc.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun journal-entry-filename ()
"Returns the filename for today's journal entry."
(let ((date-string (format-time-string journal-filename-format)))
(concat journal-directory "/" date-string ".org")))
#+end_src
If the journal entry doesn't exist yet, I want it to be populated
with the long-form date as the title:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar journal-title-date-format
"%A, %-e %B %+4Y"
"The date format to use for journal entries' titles.")
(defun insert-default-journal-entry-contents ()
"Insert the default journal entry contents (currently this is
just today's long-form date as a title) into the current buffer."
(insert "#+TITLE: "
(format-time-string journal-title-date-format)
"\n\n"))
#+end_src
We can now make a function to open today's journal entry fairly
trivially using [[help:find-file][find-file]], and the above utilities. It should be
interactive, as this is what we'll be calling in the key binding.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun open-journal-entry ()
"Opens today's journal entry, populating it with the default
contents if it does not already exist."
(interactive)
(let* ((filename (journal-entry-filename))
(new-entry (not (file-exists-p filename))))
(find-file filename)
(when new-entry
(insert-default-journal-entry-contents))))
#+end_src
Finally, [[help:open-journal-entry][open-journal-entry]] can be bound to a key:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c t") 'open-journal-entry)

** Workflow States
I like to have =IN-PROGRESS= and =CANCELLED= workflow states as
well as the standard =TODO= and =DONE=. Cancelled items also want a
note attached explaining why. All this can be added by setting
[[help:org-todo-keywords][org-todo-keywords]]:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO" "IN-PROGRESS" "|" "DONE" "CANCELLED(@)")))
#+end_src
The ="|"= separates /needs further action/ states (before it) from
/no further action needed/ states (after it).
I also want to log the date and time when a note is marked as done:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-log-done 'time)
#+end_src
** Agenda
Time to try org-mode's agenda feature again I think. Last time I
didn't end up using it much, but I am /much/ more of an Emacs
addict now so I do forsee it actually surviving (this will be funny
to read in the future if not).
I want to show all TODOs in =.org= files under my top-level
=~/Documents/org= directory and any in this config itself. This is
done by enumerating all files under =~/Documents/org= with
[[help:directory-files-recursively][directory-files-recursively]], then setting [[help:org-agenda-files][org-agenda-files]] to this,
along with this config's path.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((org-docs
(directory-files-recursively "~/Documents/org" ".+\.org$")))
(setq org-agenda-files `("~/.emacs.d/config.org" ,@org-docs)))
#+end_src
Also I find it really very annoying that the the current window
layout is destroyed when you run =org-agenda=. That behaviour is
changed by setting [[help:org-agenda-window-setup][org-agenda-window-setup]]:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-window-setup 'current-window)
#+end_src
Include events from my diary:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)

Though I don't like the time grid being on by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-use-time-grid nil)
#+end_src
I primarily use the TODO list to keep track of un-scheduled tasks,
so I don't want those displayed in there:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t)
#+end_src
Finally, I want a keybinding for the weekly agenda and global TODO
list agenda view:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-weekly-agenda-and-todo-list ()
(interactive)
(org-agenda nil "n"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") 'org-weekly-agenda-and-todo-list)
#+end_src
** Habits
Habit tracking requires the habits org module to be loaded. This is
done by adding the symbol ~'habits~ to [[help:org-modules][org-modules]], if it's not in
there already. I originally didn't have the surrounding ~unless~,
but it causes problems when re-loading the config using
[[help:org-babel-load-file][org-babel-load-file]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(unless (member 'habits org-modules)
(add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-habit)
(org-load-modules-maybe t))
#+end_src
The [[help:org-load-modules-maybe][org-load-modules-maybe]] call forces org to load the modules in
[[help:org-modules][org-modules]]. Not sure it's needed, but I ran into some weird issues
and I think it fixed them.
The consistency graph is very nice but overlaps a lot of the habit
names, so I want to move it to the right a little:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-habit-graph-column 42)
#+end_src
Also it displays days that you did a habit in red if the habit was
overdue on that day, which makes a sort of sense, but always
showing days you did things in green makes more sense to me. The
variable [[help:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]] controls this.
