767fed75c3 Support multiple HabitTypes
I could have and should have broken this change into smaller pieces, but when I
came up for air, I had changed too much, and most of the changes are
intermingled. Oh well... this is an exciting change!

Include habits for:
- Morning
- Evening
- Payday (the 25th)
- First of the Month
- First of the Year

Since the Morning and Evening routines might be a bit noisy, I'm excluding them
from the output using a flag, `include{Morning,Evening}`, which I support in the
UI to toggle their visibility.

I made *much* more progress on this app that I expected to today, and I *think*
-- short of supporting a database and a server -- I'm close to
being *completely* finished.

Wahoo!

5684608fed Move tailwind function into Utils module
Instead of accepting `List (String, Int)`, accept `List Strategy` where
`Strategy` defines whether or not the string of selectors should be applied to
the element.

I'm also renaming it `class` so I can just use `Utils.class`; `tailwind` has
little to do with the function itself.

0a15ea7366 Create UI module for common components
Create UI.elm to house components like `button`, which is a simple HTML button
with `focus:outline-none` applied as a `class`, which is an accessibility
feature that I don't need for this touch-screen application.

I like this pattern more than my more opinionated patterns for UI modules in Elm
where I'd define all of the arguments as a record type (i.e. kwargs).

106457de4b Prefer handwritten font
Use the Google Fonts API to fetch a handwritten font, which gives the app a
modicum of personality. There are more "best practices" ways to do this, such
as:

- Download the font once, and include it in the bundle
- Extend the Tailwind configure to recognize the font
- Ditch the inline <style> block

But I don't need the performance benefits that the first bullet provides. And
the second two bullets are more relevant for a larger application with more than
one font. So I think in this case, the easiest solution is best.

Also:
- Use `container` and `mx-auto` to constrain content for wide screens

f3ee628a4c Support display-arrangement macro
I was tired of using `arandr` to manually configure my monitor positions, so I
encoded the settings in Elisp in the `display.el` module.

TL;DR:
- Drop support for `position` kwarg in `display-register` macro
- Support `coords` kwarg in `display-register`.
- `defconst` the `xrandr` arguments and command in `display-register`.
- Define `display-arrangement` macro that consumes the `xrandr` arguments that
  `display-register` defines to create an interactive function,
  `display-arrange-<NAME>`, which -- when invoked -- runs one xrandr command to
  configure a display "arrangement".

4187e888c8 Disable company-mode during git commits
Why didn't I configure this earlier? For years, my workflow involved checking a
buffer's major mode and then extending that major-mode's hook. Confusingly (to
me), the `major-mode` for `COMMIT_EDITMSG` is `text-mode`, and I didn't want to
disable `company-mode` for *all* `text-mode` buffers, which is what the
following would have done:

```elisp
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (company-mode -1))
```

Thankfully I recently invested some time into learning more about Emacs's
offline help system, `Info-mode`, so -- putting that knowledge to work -- I ran
`info-apropos` and searched "magit commit". After ~5 minutes of reading I knew
the recommended way of configuring this was to modify `git-commit-setup-hook`.

How validating!

ce61987959 Extend named-workspace struct to include display information
I want to couple my EXWM workspaces with monitors. E.g. - I'd like my "Chatter"
workspace to prefer my `4k-vertical`. This change supports that.

I also did a small amount of formatting, which I don't think belongs in a
separate commit.

1a5b2ab3b0 Add step to my finances playbook
This is a helpful reminder to ensure that the exchange rate is always
fresh. Ideally I could use Google Sheets formulae to take a snapshot of the
GBP:USD exchange rate *at a point in time*, but I haven't set that up yet. Maybe
it'd look something like:

```pseudocode
=GOOGLEFINANCE("GBP:USD", "September 1, 2020")
```

I'll have to look into this.

fc0c795c4e Debug failed Emacs initialization
My newly minted macro for defining monitors introduced two bugs:
1. Laptop defined its position in terms of 4k-horizontal and 4k-horizontal
   defined its position in terms of laptop, I introduced a circular dependency.
2. The identifier, `laptop-monitor`, which `window-manager.el` depends on, is
   now defined as `laptop`.

A friendly reminder to myself to always test new Emacs builds to make sure that
everything can initialize properly. This is something that my CI should be
automating, but ever since I moved flats, I lost my CI and need to restore it.

This is another reminder to drop into a TTY when Emacs fails to initialize, run
`nix-env --rollback`, then attempt to restart X. But this time, debugging this
entirely from a TTY wasn't so disappointing.

831dba20bf Define display-4k-vertical
I recently acquired a new monitor, which I'm orienting vertically for logs,
chats, etc. As such I needed to add more functions, KBDs to wrangle the
setup. To DRY up my code, I define a macro, `display-register`, as a DSL for
supporting new monitors. This:
- defines two functions for enabling and disabling the displays
- defines a constant, `display-<name>`

It's basically just a wrapper around `xrandr`, and that's good enough for now.

34ec3104f7 Debug dottime in modeline
My modeline was displaying the local time (not UTC time) and appending the UTC
timezone offset, which was confusing me.

When it was `00:03` in London, my modeline would read `00:03+01`. One way of
interpreting this is that it's `00:03` in London and the `+01` is a reminder
that I'm one hour ahead of UTC. However, I was reading it as though it was
`00:03` UTC and thus `01:03` in London.

I had to set `display-time-string-forms` instead of `display-time-string` to
pass the `t` argument to the `ZONE` parameter to indicate that I'd prefer to use
UTC time and not local time when expanding the variables.
