#OKRs and self-evaluations are the single most #annoying and #unproductive tasks at #work.
However, they at least help me to learn to make my #output look great and to prepare bullet points for my #CV.

I compensated for getting in early by leaving my charger at home. #Unproductive
Πήγα το αμάξι για πλύσιμο. Νόμιζα ότι θα ένιωθα παραγωγικός έτσι. Φε...
I took my car to be washed. It didn't boost my productivity. Damn...
I am procrastinating.
I should be #knitting (Wayworn, by Melanie Berg, in Sandes Garn Silk Mohair), but I am scroll-dooming.
So instead I will take a break and see if I can force that little SBC to network share the drive pool I intend to attach to it.
If you must be #unproductive, be productively unproductive.
Ugh, my notes are like a black hole for cool ideas! I'm always scribbling down stuff for scripts, blog posts, maybe even ideas for short stories – but then, poof! They just disappear. It's like 90% of my notes get swallowed by the note monster before I can actually use them!

Reading Time: 3 minutes
It’s the twenty fourth today, and people who have been good will soon get things, and those who haven’t will get a lump of coal. Given enough pressure that coal could become a diamond. At such a time it’s interesting to take stock of how productive, or unproductive the year has been. One tool with which to do this is timetagger. Timetagger is either a free app, if you set it up on a local machine, or a paying app if you use a cloud services version.
What makes this app interesting is that it allows you to keep track of tasks by title, and tags. Imagine that you’re writing a blog post. You can use writing, blogging and relevant terms to make finding all time spent working on a specific topic quick and easy.
Resume
An interesting feature of this app is that if you work on a task, and then get interrupted to make coffee or for a fire drill you can pause the activity, and then return and set a second start time. You can count the same task and keywords more than once. If you have a task that you do on a regular basis this saves time.
Simple to Use
To start tracking you press play. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking at yesterday or another day. It will automatically start “today”. You then press stop and you’re done.
At the end of the day, week, month or quarter you can see a report for specific tags in isolation, or relevant tags. It’s quick and easy to use.
So far I have tracked twenty hours but by this time next year I will have tracked several hundred. I find that by using this server based app I don’t kill the battery on my phone as fast as before. I start the timer and know precisely what I have been working on. I know by title and tags.
If you’re tracking for yourself then you can add as many tags as you want, but if you’re tracking for a client then avoid using more than one tag, unless requested to use more. I experimented with reports and you can select to see all “linux” time, but you also see secondary tags. This might look less professional if you use this app to track time spent professionally.
If you’re working as a freelancer you can use the name of a client as the tag and log the time you arrive, and the time you leave. Even if you don’t need to give a time sheet you can double check it to make sure that the hours are correct.
A To Do Variant
For a while I was playing with To Do apps. You give yourself tasks that you have to complete on a daily, weekly or other basis and you just tick that you did it. Time tracking is taking the To Do list a step further. You’re actually tracking the time that you spend on a task, daily fo weeks or months at a time. It’s important to account for the time you spent, not just what you did.
It’s a good habit to have, whether you’re being paid to track or not. If you get into this habit, in your free time it will be able to do this automatically when you can justify your hours. This app only allows you to track one activity at a time. You can start a second activity but it will pause the first. You can’t track “Time spent in the office”, and then “time spent on a sub task”, at the office.
Self Hosting vs Paid Solution
Self hosting is free but you need to configure the app, and make it accessible when you’re away from the server. With paid solution, for three francs per month you have access from anywhere.
And Finally
With this app you can track the time you spend filming an event, and then you can track the time you spend ingesting footage, logging and more. You can track the time you spend editing and then the time you spend exporting the video files. You can then track time spent on modifications. The application is highly modular and you can start and stop timers with ease, and tag tasks.
The beauty of self-hosting on your local network is that the data is private. No one can use it, other than you, and those you hand reports to. Other solutions may use AI and other tools to quantify the data you give them.
With TimeLogger you could track “learning Linux” or “Learning German”. With this you can track “learning ‘irgendwie’, ‘irgendwo’, ‘irgendwas'” and more. It’s as modular as you want it to be.

As the pain slowly subsides, I'm worrying about the loss of productive time.
How do you cope with the feeling of 'lost time' due to unforeseen circumstances? ⏳🤕 #unproductive #buildinpublic #indiemakers #HealingJourne

Garmin: Unproductive
#Running #Strava #Garmin #Unproductive #ThanksGarmin
Having a very unproductive day. So much I wanted to get done but just can’t get my brain to work. And on top of being unproductive, I’ve been moping about my love life, or lack thereof. It’s just been a really crappy day. Any good vibes people can send my way, that’d be amazing.
despite #reddit being down all morning, I have still be as #unproductive as usual
Waste of a Day
This meeting could have been an email

#Unproductive: A development team's competency isn't product research setting USPs. They would be a company if they can do it
#Unfair: Can't expect a full presentation of competition research & project scoping as a proposal. Someone should be paid to do it
please don't do this
