| This page has quite a bit of overlap with my Org file. That's more for school assignments, appointments, errands, etc. but some sort of integration would be nice. Also, several of "projects" are more like habits I wish to cultivate than discrete actions, and Org-Mode has a "habits" module that would be useful for tracking them | "<cerebral_monkey> bipt: There's a really good book by Martine Batchelor called Meditation for Life, and her husband wrote a book called Buddhism without Religion that is great as well. That is how I delved deeper into it" |

| The project-tracking notation could use improvement. Perhaps stars for discrete actions, and different smilies to indicate progress on habits to cultivate and general goals? * :\ or (!) -- No data yet, or not yet applicable * :-( or /!\ -- Poor progress * :-) -- Satisfactory progress * :D -- Excellent progress * B-) or :-)) or {*} -- Goal achieved |
