Readable agendas

Prefix formats show times neatly; entry snippets give context. Habit columns keep streaks visible.

Code

(setq org-agenda-prefix-format '((agenda . "%?-02t ") (todo . "") (tags . " %i %-12:c") (search . " %i %-12:c")))
(setq org-agenda-start-with-entry-text t

      org-agenda-span 3
      org-habit-graph-column 32
      org-habit-following-days 3
      org-habit-preceding-days 3)

(setq org-modules '(ol-bbdb ol-bibtex ol-docview ol-doi ol-eww ol-gnus org-habit ol-info ol-irc ol-mhe ol-rmail ol-w3m))
