We also setup an idle timer, with a short duration, only 30 seconds, to update the ~org-agenda-files~ list, as well as a longer regular timer with a duration of 300 seconds (5 minutes) to keep the agenda up to date even when we are actively using emacs.

Setup a timer that attempts to update the org-agenda buffer every 5 minutes. This timer is a little bit unsafe, so it _could_ end up annoying the user by updating the state while they are in the middle of doing something, so it cancels out and does nothing if the user is currently focused on the agenda buffer.
