If you are an emacs/org-mode user, it's quite easy to clock in and out of tasks as you work, and generate summary reports of your time.
I've done this with good success when I was required to track my time. If I'm not required to do it, I find that I just dont bother.
- arethuza 8y agoOrg mode for VS Code has timestamps - which I use for keeping a record of when I thought of things rather than time tracking.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoI used to have that problem but now that I'm freelancing, I actually take care to always have an active clock running on a task I'm working on. It's even improving my focus in a way - I have a constant reminder in my mode line (both in Emacs and in WM) what I'm focusing on. The key to making this work, when I couldn't make it work in Jira, is lack of friction. In Emacs, if I want to switch tasks I'm working on, it takes the following sequence of keypresses: C-a a -- switch to Org Agenda C-s taskn... <ret> -- find new task "taskname" via incremental search i -- clock in, automatically clocking out the previously active task s -- save all open org-mode files q -- close Org Agenda window It's in my muscle memory, and I can do that faster in there than it takes for a single Jira page to refresh (reason #123 I prefer desktop native over web apps, and don't consider the latter as proper tools).
