- bonyt 7y agoAbout your collaborations, did you come up with anything interesting? The system I’ve settled on is to just keep a steno notebook on my desk, and write a couple words in one column, and hours in the other. Something like: 1, 1.4, 3.4 | Revise App. Br. Timers got too confusing because of multiple tasks, and any system involving typing on a computer or using my phone had too high an activation cost and ended up needing supplementing.

It was an improvement in my opinion. Security concerns around the product itself make it somewhat more complicated given the sensitive nature of the data.
