I am constantly fighting a losing battle with distractions. I figured out that showing me how much time I spent goofing around would help me stay on track (being a math geek and a gamer, my "let's break my yesterday's score" and similar instincts kick in immediately, too). So far, I have these in my prototype: - a notification (recurring every n seconds) that I'm not clocking anything, - some stats about what I spent my time on and what my efficiency (i.e., percentage of time I spent working from the point when I started counting to now) is, - info about how much work I need to do in order to meet my set goal, and how much will it take if my efficiency remains constant, - a warning when my efficiency is lower than a set value, and info about how much work I need to do to bump it up to that value. Here's an example output (with some partially faked data): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 39min of your workday (10%) has passed, and you have 5h 31min left. work - 30min spent (12% of your goal of 4h and 75% of your workday so far) 3h 30min remaining (4h 39min with your current efficiency of 75%). You need 9min of uninterrupted work to get back to 80% efficiency. eating - 4min spent (10% of your workday so far) bathroom - 2min spent (5% of your workday so far) unclassified - 0min spent (0% of your workday so far) Unclocked time so far: 3min. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- My questions are: - is anyone interested in something like this? - are there any features you would like to have? (I have some ideas, too.) - does anyone have an idea of how to /name/ this project? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
