What helps me with end-of-day reporting

Ever feel like your day ends and you can’t quite remember what you actually accomplished? Or do you get so absorbed in a task that you forget your original goal?

That used to be me too. Staying focused and keeping track of my progress felt like a constant challenge.

So, I built something to help: a simple web extension to keep me on track.

Here’s how it works:

  • When I start working, I set my focus by writing down the task I want to accomplish.
  • If I switch tasks, I log and update my focus.
  • If I lose track, I glance at my focus to remind myself what’s important.
  • By the end of the day, I have a log of all my focused tasks and end-of-day reporting gets pretty easy.

If this sounds like something that could help you stay focused and feel more accomplished, check it out:

Google Chrome

Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/focus-log/

Source (GitHub)
https://github.com/receter/focus-log-extension

I’d love your feedback. How do you currently stay focused and keep track of what you did?
