sleep 5m && xterm -e calcurse &
sleep 5m && xterm -e nano ~/.daily_reminder.txt &

First you need to install the cron package. Cron uses vim. If you prefer a
different editor just run this command (replace the editor by your preferred
editor):
export EDITOR=gedit
Then run the following command:
I believe this one package might prove useful, although it does require some
fiddling to set it to remind you each hour say, but you should manage to do
