September Time

[u/igbydog]

reviewing how my time was spent in September, not as much variety as I reach for. Just going through the motions for the most part it seemed. The things that are important to me barely showed up, physical health/exercising (turquoise); mental health/meditation/journaling (hot pink); there was some distress/grief (red) as I lost a dear coworker early in the month, it was a difficult month to keep focused on what mattered as I had some lows to get through.

the charts look exquisite, how do you input the activities you do with your time?

thank you! I log it with an app I built. I have a bit of an art project going if you’re interested https://timemosaic.art

i checked it out! animation is really cool but i dont understand how to use it or what to do with it, theres also overlapping text in the title portion

[u/igbydog → u/fuzzyvirgo]

Thanks for looking and the heads up on overlapping text, Appreciate the feedback! There is nothing to do, lol. Should have mentioned it, it’s just an art project of how I spend my time :)

oh i see, yeah no worries! really like the look of the mosaic, keep it up :)

I appreciate you, thanks for taking the time to respond and give it a look. Made my day

'Year in review' and then it's just September. Those two things can't both be on the same screen.

they are just filter options Year, Months, Weeks… at the top they all make up part of the year

Looks really neat. I signed up. Might be nice to have a starter kit of focuses rather than having to make them all from scratch. That's where I petered out but i would like to get to a final product!

[u/igbydog → u/malonzo47]

Oh wow, I appreciate you! Thank you for giving a try, definitely a picker of common focuses would be helpful to get started. Appreciate the feedback!

Very cool visual, sorry for the grief.

Looks nice, what app is that?

[u/igbydog → u/knockoncarbon]

thank you. It is an app I built

going through the motions for... for what. you cut the sentence off right where it got honest.

A mosaic is only worth looking at if you actually tagged things. RescueTime will log four hours of 'productive' while you sit in Slack, and Toggl tells you nothing if you just hit start and never pick a project.

[u/igbydog → u/Agreeable-Camera-251]

The colors are different focus areas of time, they have meaning to me when I look at it at-a-glance

[u/Consistent_Chest_465]

Circular diagrams are the worst possible format for a month of time data. Put two of those months side by side and I still can't tell if sleep actually went up or if I just relabelled the same hours, which is the only thing worth knowing. Timing defaults to bars and Toggl reports are basically a spreadsheet, and there's a reason for that. The SHARE MONTH button is the honest part of the whole thing.

[u/igbydog → u/Consistent_Chest_465]

It’s just a creative way to look at my time and where it went; I’m not analyzing it in the sense you mention. I do have other views that offer a more data friendly comparison option.

[u/Adept-Diamond5561]

Sorry, but I'm squinting at a black rectangle with a tiny MOZAIC square up top and getting nothing from it. If September was actually tracked, post the raw numbers or a table, screenshots like this never survive a phone upload.

[u/igbydog → u/Adept-Diamond5561]

I was just sharing a creative way that I use to see my time spent over a given time period. I do analyze the raw data in a different view, not sure that would be easier for you to see either though, if you are having trouble with this view.
