Productivity Stopwatch
About the Productivity Stopwatch
Calendars lie kindly; stopwatches do not. A productivity stopwatch is for knowledge workers who suspect the day vanished into reactive email but need evidence before changing habits. Start at deep work open, lap when you switch tasks, stop at real break - not at intended break - and the trail shows whether the two-hour block was ninety minutes of focus and thirty of slack. Meetings lap at agenda items when you facilitate; afterward the list proves which topic ate the slot.
How to use it
- Start when real focused work begins, not when you open the laptop.
- Lap at every task switch - email, ticket, meeting topic.
- Stop at actual breaks; note if the break ran long.
- Review the lap trail at end of day for pattern insight.
- Save or export weekly summaries for scheduling changes.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.
