david-kingA peek into 1DayLater
Me, Paul, our Dad, and local coder Peter Beckwith have all been using the 1DayLater prototype since January and we’ve decided to give you a little peek into our working lives. We habitually enter how we spend our time into 1DayLater like so:
“1h30, The Great North Run Project, Working on visualisations”
It takes about 5 seconds to do, and we typically make 5-10 entries a day. It might not look like much, but we’ve already created useful analyses of our data in the forms of activity charts and accurate invoices (for once in my life!). Using only this simple data I can show how me, Paul and our Dad have different working lifestyles:
- I’ve worked many hours on a big orange project (1DayLater), but also have a few other steady side-projects
- Paul’s been working on a pink project (1DayLater again) and takes on occasional work when he needs to
- Our Dad works on many projects in tandem, some phasing in and out, and some are steady (the brown and green ones)
This early version only measures time spent, but the upcoming release (end of August) will deal with business miles and expenditure too! I really can’t wait to show what we have in the pipeline!
