💡 Recording of working time / work blocks

Open GitHofi opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hi

Currently, TimeTagger is really optimal for mapping the time worked to the jobs/clients. The separation into primary and secondary tags is a real productivity booster for me. Thanks again for that 👍

What I'm still missing now is a display of the working time / work blocks themselves, regardless of the jobs/clients behind them.

By this I mean the start and end times of the phases in which I worked without breaks.

For example, this could look like this for a day:

  • block 1 → 07:05 - 11:35 sum: 4:30

  • block 2 → 12:00 - 15:15 sum: 3:15

  • block 3 → 16:00 - 17:43 sum: 1:43

    TOTAL: 9:28

Maybe this could be solved with an additional report?

Thanks Chris

If I understand this correctly, you are interested in seeing the blocks of contiguous work during a day (the total is already easy to see in the day view). What would a report look like? One header for each day, and the items being these blocks?

exactly

Yes, I only added it because it would feel strange not to show the total time at that point 😉

What would a report look like?

For each block I would show start time, end time and total time for this block of continuous work.

Yes, a grouping per day is certainly a good idea. (I didn't even think of that because I would use the report on a daily basis).

And displaying the total time for each day would also feel " reasonable" to me - just to see the whole picture in one report.

Thanks for considering this. Chris

I'm not sure yet where this would fit in, but there are some more ideas for "special overview visualizations", e.g. #125 and #202, so maybe it could be a part of that.
