Why I am building Flow Clock

I work in a lot of different places: my study, shifts, and editing videos. At the end of a week I often don’t know where the hours went, or when I actually worked well.

So I started building Flow Clock, a simple tracker for all my work.

How it works

• Before I start, I write a quick to-do list.
• A timer runs while I work. I can also log time afterwards.
• When I stop, I write a short note and give the session a rating.
• Every Sunday I get a summary of my week.

What I want to learn

When do I focus best? Which kind of work drains my energy, and which gives it back?

The next step is planning big jobs in small blocks. For a video edit that could be: set up, sort the cameras, then edit ten minutes of film per hour, and finish with a final pass. Smaller steps make big work feel less stressful.

I will share what I learn here.
