Back in a past job as a design/entering consultant I built a tool to silently track what I was working on. All our jobs had a three letter code (e.g. “ABC”) and all documents (and CAD parts) had a document number that started with the project code. These were used as file names and so I had a python script that would check what the window title for the front most window was to guess which project I was on and record it to a log file every few minutes. I then had another tool that read the log file and totalled up how long I had worked in each project each day. It worked very well and helped massively filling in timesheets later on.
Thankfully I don’t have timesheets anymore. Hated them...
