vim for editing, emacs org mode for scheduling, tracking habits, tasks, tracking my time spent on tasks and taking notes

Wait - can you use org mode without knowing emacs as much as a vim user knows vim? Like, maybe, knowing the default shell line editing keystrokes?

- Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash) for browsing documentation locally (often faster than searching the web when you know what you are looking for), alternative: https://devdocs.io (works in browser), Zeal (https://zealdocs.org, for Windows & Linux)

- Sublime Merge for solving merge conflicts and committing individual lines (I'm for command line when working with Git, but `git add -p` is often frustrating, with Sublime Merge it's very easy once you got used to the tool)

Really, I really like how documentations have become easily accessible offline. Hows your experience has been with Sublime Merge

Internal: Learning Vim, (some) task automation through scripts, learning to write good commits/comments/tests/tags (TODO:, BUG:, REFACTOR:), doing code reviews. External: Taking breaks (brew coffee, walk around), sleep well.

Nice, I am also investing time into learn more about vim, btw have you tried kakoune editor its very similar to vim and provides auto suggestion feature
