@enigmatico I had a script on Linux for a while that would prompt every half hour or so and you had to type what you did on.
it was based on some old writers thing where they made themselves write the book or write excuses why they didn’t and eventually they felt stupid enough they wrote the book.
having the logs really does make it sink in more that you need to do things.
having to manually write them makes it even worse.
Don’t have the script on windows but I have the journal in emacs with capture templates for neat things found or stuff done.
