Cool! I used to have my own back in 2005/2006 I remember. Mine was written in AHK and worked by periodically asking me what I was doing.
Since then I switched to Manic Time which just logs the open application and window title. (In the free version, more features in the paid version which I use now even if the free version is really good.)
The benefit of your approach and my AHK script is it encourages thinking about how one uses the time during the day and not only towards the end of the week when the timesheets are due.
- tomaszsobota 4y agoAwesome, what was the interval that you found most comfortable/effective? (I imagine there was a lot of fine tuning) I'm afraid Manic wouldn't help me personally because it doesn't interrupt the switches. tsr makes me stop for a second and write down the fact I'm jumping to another task. It's a tiny interruption, but occasionally it's enough to stop, make a tsn note and come back to it later. I feel this is a step in the right direction for me to stay on top of things.
- eitland 4y agoI being me, I settled for 7 minutes which even I think is a short interval but I think empty records were OK so I could just hit enter which would mean "still working on the last thing I wrote".
