Having recently set-up an org habit for the first time, I have some
feedback on the manual page `Tracking your habits'. Point 6 currently
states
6. You must also have state logging for the `DONE' state enabled
(*note Tracking TODO state changes::), in order for historical
data to be represented in the consistency graph. If it is not
enabled it is not an error, but the consistency graphs will be
largely meaningless.
which I found a little too vague.
I had org-log-done set to 'note. This was not sufficient to get correct
habit consistency graphs. Changing it to 'time was, but I quickly got fed
up with not being prompted for notes on closing other types of task. I
therefore reverted to 'note, but added the property
:LOGGING: DONE(!)
to the habit task. This now works smoothly as I wished.
Based on this I suggest adding the above LOGGING line to the PROPERTIES in
the example included in the manual so it reads:
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:LOGGING: DONE(!)
:LAST_REPEAT: [2009-10-19 Mon 00:36]
:END:
This should make it easier for other users to set up this feature.
