Weekly review: Week ending August 21, 2015

Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly

Hardly any writing or drawing this week (beyond my now-usual daily notes). I still feel good about the week, though. I got lots of things done despite extra bleahness. W- has been helping me work on that part. =)

More consulting this week, since my clients asked me to help train a promising intern. I think he would be a great successor. Mwahaha.

Fantastic blog. I stumbled across it this week looking for org-mode information.

Could you explain how you handle time tracking? Sleep for example, do you actually clock in and out, or do you backfill it somehow?

Thanks! Over the years, I've shifted my timetracking to quantifiedawesome.com (a tool I built; source is available in the footer for the site). I can update it through the web or from Emacs. In terms of sleep, I have a Tasker script that logs the start of my "Sleep" activity and starts Sleep as Android for other sleep tracking. Then, when I wake up and turn off Sleep As Android's tracking, another Tasker script responds to the intent broadcast and logs the start of my "Routines" activity. Throughout the day, I either use the website to update quantifiedawesome.com, or I use a little Tasker script I have with lots of buttons that make it easy to select my most frequent activities.

Sometimes I backfill, like logging something as "-30m Borderlands 2" to say I started playing Borderlands 2 roughly thirty minutes ago. Tools built by absent-minded people for their absent-minded selves, yay! =)
