I thought keeping a timesheet tracking 30 second intervals was ridiculous until I discovered how much more productive I have become. It’s amazing. I think I’m so focussed that I’m finding that I have completed tasks that I can’t even remember doing.
I’ve spoken to the others on the team and nobody else was asked to keep a timesheet. But the instructions sent to me were quite clear. I won’t be the one on the firing line come the next restructure. Bring it on!
I’ve always loved stories of time travel. Doctor Who, Bill and Ted, Marty McFly. They were my heroes. Imagine having a time machine and travelling back to see the dinosaurs or forwards to a shiny future!
That was the dream. The truth is a lot less fun.
“Unless you sign up for this, you’re out the door.”
Yeah, I’ve got a mortgage and a kid on the way. I can’t afford that.
“We need this yesterday!”
That’s what they always say, but there are only so many hours in a day.
There used to be only so many hours in a day.
Turns out that management go hold of the time machine and thought of a way to squeeze more productivity out of workers. Send us back in time now so we can put twice the effort into our work before.
“Never, ever, meet yourself.”
I knew that rule from the stories. But how to do it?
The timesheet. When you’re sleeping, I’m there. When you are off at lunch, I’m there. When you are pissing in the bathroom, I’m there. I’m there at your desk doing your work.
Who gave you the instructions to use a timesheet?
That was me.
I am you and you are me. You just don’t know it yet.

We recently talked about a free personal time tracking app that we are preparing for release. And very soon we'll share it with all of you. Visually it is mega simple. No complicated dashboards with a bunch of different colors. Only the most important and very functional. We hope this is one of those "as nature intended".
Until then, here are the first screenshots with the task list and timer list. In a light and dark theme to taste.
our obsession with #productivity often comes at the expense of our mental well-being. We're constantly hustling, but sometimes, I wonder if we're forgetting to just be human and enjoy the moment.
I have a huge amount of appreciation for the fact that Nautilus / #GNOMEFiles can seamlessly pattern-select, batch-rename and move files both from its treeview and from search results… all with keyboard shortcuts! Extremely useful to clean up filenames.
Today, in someone else's messy folders, I was able to cleanly rename everything and eliminate at least 40 duplicates in a directory that contained over 180 files, most of which were in the wrong locations.
