Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
Bash script that pops-up notification with a bar graph of where you're spending your time on PC

Preliminary but works, even though I'm probably doing some stuff wrong/dumbly. Basically, "if input is idle for less than two minutes, then grep the active window, if it's the same active window for two times in three 30-second time-windows, count it as active ; after looping N times, show a rudimentary bar graph of how many times each logged window was used."
It would be nicer to actually transform the counting of each program in a percentage of the total, but it's good enough for now.
No copyrights whatsoever and all that FOSS stuff. It depends at least on xprintidle, xdotool, and notify-send.
