In this Tinderbox Meetup, @archurhh and Michael Becker a meetup is scheduled a time to accommodate the APAC community—going forward the first Friday of every month, we’ll have a meetup 4:00 PST/9:00 JST (see TBX Metup Calendar—to discuss their approach for tools for thought note-taking. Michael Becker also walked through a Time Tracker flow he has developed in Tinderbox to help him keep track of his time.

Awesome video! I like this very much. I’m building a ToDo app in Tinderbox as a replacement for OmniFocus and this is a nice supplement.

Question: Wouldn’t it be nicer to calculate the Daily Tracking percentages somewhat different so that the Personal hours+working hours+paid working hours make 100%?
Something like this:

var:number vPerHours=sum_if(descendants,
$Prototype==“pTimeTracker”&$IsPersonal==true&$IsAlias==false,$Hours);
var:number vWkHours=sum_if(descendants,
$Prototype==“pTimeTracker”&$IsPersonal==false&$IsPaid==false&$IsAlias==false, $Hours);
var:number vWkHoursPaid=sum_if(descendants,
$Prototype==“pTimeTracker”&$IsPaid==true&$IsAlias==false, $Hours);

var:number vTotHours= vPerHours+vWkHours+vWkHoursPaid;
var:number vPerPer= (vPerHours/vTotHours) *100;
var:number vWorkPer= (vWkHours/vTotHours)*100;
var:number vWorkPaidPer= (vWkHoursPaid/vTotHours)*100;

$DisplayExpressionCache=$Name+" (“+vTotHours.precision(2) +” - P:"
+vPerHours.precision(2) +" | “+vPerPer.precision(0)+”%, W: “+vWkHours.precision(2) +” | "
+vWorkPer.precision(0) +“%, WP:”+vWkHoursPaid.precision(2)+" | "
+vWorkPaidPer.precision(0)+“%)”;

Imho this gives a better view on the total time spend on each element.

Glad you liked it! :slight_smile: I’ll be updating it and putting a more formal version with a course in my new 5Cs and Tinderbox school that I launched this week.

Sure I only spent about 5 minutes writing this script. Did not put too much thought into it.
