A super simple/dumb prompter that I've been using for a few years. I find it helps keep procrastination at bay.

This is fairly specific to my workload -- for example, if no entry with "Trello" was entered today, an annoying message appears to do that, since that's where I store my long-term TODO items.

A dialog pops up every 15 minutes and asks you what you're doing, with the resulting input going to ~/.prompter/<date> by default.

You can set PROMPT_DELAY_SECS in the environment to change the number of seconds between prompts. You can also set LOG_DIR to log to some dir other than ~/.prompter.

WORK_START_HOUR and `WORK_END_HOURk mark when to actually show the prompt.

Also see nota, which is what I use to aggregate these afterwards.
