This sounds a bit obvious to me after I write it down: I think there’s some value in the fact you were unaware and it was a random time.
If you take your work very seriously, I can see it being valuable to record it like athletes do. It would be tempting to use this on the “most important” days or when you’re “really ready”. At the very least, there’s a burden of choice and memory. I don’t know about security implications, but it seems valuable to randomly record a day per month and send it to yourself a week later. Or in the case of this tool, select some period for extra review.
- philipswood 3y agoThere's a windows tool called Timesnapper that takes a screenshot every few seconds and let's you replay and navigate. After reviewing a few days I learned to start focusing on one thing at a time. It was cringeworthy to see how ineffective multitasking by switching between a few tasks was.
- LeonB 3y agoAbsolutely. Watching your playback in TimeSnapper gives a lot of insights into the way a small distraction can derail you for hours (or it does for me, I mean)
- keepamovin 3y agoIt's amazing to me the kind of vulnerable personal responsibility and insights that occur prompted by simply seeing yourself and how you act, clearly. I heartily concur with the above comments and am super happy to see other people having this similar experience. It suggests these kind of "mirroring" self-training practices and feedback might be useful across a whole range of endeavors, which sounds awesome. A super easy way to improve -- akin to people checking their reflection in a mirror -- that a bit of technology could really help with :)
