– Ability to bucket (or discard) my time AFK. Useful if it was a client call. Good luck on your product! I’m sure you can bring additional innovations to the space. [https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/].

Somebody else pointed out RescueTime, but if keeping it local is a priority, I recommend Qbserve, which I’ve been using (mostly passively in the background) for a few years now. [0] https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/.

One of the hardest things for me about grad school (that I’m still struggling with!) is figuring out how to schedule my own day when I have few external things keeping my day in shape for me. it’s been really helpful just to have the data of how much time I usually spend on things/what I’ve done that day… I can see where all my time is going lmao and readjust as needed. I use toggl track in conjunction with…

Is https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/ actually doing this ? I can’t seem to figure out if it tracks individual files inside apps.

An unconventional, and somewhat uncomfortable bit of discipline: I used Qbserve (for mac), which is an automatic time tracker. I taught it which websites were productive (/r/LaTeX, StackExchange, and ArXiV.org) and which were not (/r/GradSchool etc lol). It notified me when I was spending too much time not being productive, and also notified me when I had done “enough”.

I use Qbserve [1] after seeing it mentioned in a previous thread. Really helpful for seeing where time was spent over the course of the day/week. Collected data all stored locally too [1] https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/.

I’m a big fan. It focuses on privacy (doesn’t send your data to any servers) https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/. It also has many features for freelancers/contractors.

What helpmed me a lot was getting up very early. I wake up around 4.30/5.00 (without alarm), make a coffee and work till 8 or 9. So I already worked a lot without getting notifications or emails from co-workers, they still sleeping. Around 9 I have a shower and make a little break. Around 10 I work again till 1pm and the rest of the day I’m still online for my co-workers, but not really working anymore. After 1pm…

I tried out RescueTime in the past (~2010 or so) but I was never comfortable sending this data to a remote server. I since found Qbserve[0] which is a similar product, but it keeps all your data local. If I find myself distracted on any given day, then I turn on focus.app [1] to kill those distractions. It’s not as elegant of a solution as what RescueTime offers, but all my data stays on my machine which is worth…
