Third Time: A Better Way to Work
This package provides Third Time (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/RWu8eZqbwgB9zaerh/third-time-a-better-way-to-work) support for Emacs. Installation This package is compatible with Emacs >= 27.1 and has no external dependencies. The file `third-time.el' may be placed on the `load-path' and `require'd or auto-loaded. Usage It is recommended that you bind `third-time-start-work' to `C-x M-t w' (or `third-time-prefix w', see below for information about the prefix). The command `third-time-start-work' (`C-x M-t w') starts or restarts work. It enables the mode if it is not enabled. The command `third-time-start-break' (`C-x M-t b') starts a break. If the prefix argument is passed, it will prompt for how long the break should be, otherwise, all remaining break time is used instead. `third-time-long-break' (`C-x M-t l', `C-x M-t m') starts a long (or meal) break. `third-time-end-session' (`C-x M-t e', `C-x M-t s') ends a Third Time session (i.e., workday). Finally, the command `third-time-summary' (`C-x M-t S') describes the current status, including current time in state, and information about break times. Configuration `third-time-fraction' controls what fraction of time is used for breaks. It should be a positive integer. The hooks `third-time-working-hook', `third-time-break-hook', `third-time-long-break-hook', and `third-time-change-hook' are run on state changes. Those with a named state are run on change to that state, and `third-time-change-hook' is run for all changes. `third-time-mode-hook' is run when the mode is enabled. Logging This library supports logging of state changes when `third-time-log-file' is a string referring to a file. The variables `third-time-log-format' and `third-time-log-time-format' control the log format, the latter of which should comply with `format-time-strings. `third-time-log-format' describes what a log entry looks like. It may contain the following formatting codes: - %T: the time as formatted using `third-time-log-time-format'. - %s: the state entered. - %h: the time which has been worked at `%T'. - %b: the time remaining for breaks. Alerting `third-time' uses a simple minibuffer message alerting mechanism by default. This can be overriden with `third-time-alert-function' which should be a function which takes one argument, a message to alert the user with. Other information can be `third-time-state' for more advanced formatting. Additionally, there's a "nag" timer which can be used to periodically remind the user that a break has been completed. It is controlled with the `third-time-nag-time' which is a number of minutes, if it is 0, no nagging will take place. External Package Integration: Universal Sidecar Users of the Universal Sidecar package (https://git.sr.ht/~swflint/emacs-universal-sidecar) can add `third-time-section' to `universal-sidecar-sections' to see a summary of the current third-time status in the sidecar.
