What Plus shows

See how you work.

Plus adds 8 panels to Insights. They read your sessions back to you. After a few weeks they answer real questions about how you work. The pictures come from a demo account with 9 months of sessions.

Sessions by task

Each finished task shows your guess and what it took as rows of dots. Sessions past your guess appear as extra dots after a thin line. You learn which tasks take longer than you think.

Below that, bars show how the last 3 months of sessions split between your tasks. Sessions without a task get a row of their own.

The Sessions by task panel: finished tasks with the date each was finished and a row of dots for the sessions said and the sessions taken, with lines like Said 14, took 14 and Said 6, took 9 and the 3 extra dots after a thin line, then the share of the last 3 months as bars, with the sessions that had no task at the top.
The Sessions by hour panel: sessions by hour of the day over the last year, a tall cluster from nine in the morning to one in the afternoon and a smaller one from three to six.

Sessions by hour and by weekday

Sessions by hour shows the hour each session started. Sessions by weekday shows the day of the week. Both cover the last year. Together they show when you focus best.

This demo account has a busy morning and a smaller afternoon. Its best day is Tuesday. Put your hardest work in the hours with the tallest bars.

The Sessions by weekday panel: sessions by weekday over the last year, Monday to Friday high with Tuesday highest, Saturday and Sunday about a third of that.

Totals and your best day, week and month

Totals counts what you have done since your first session. It shows 6 figures:

  • Sessions that ran their length
  • Hours measured
  • Days with a session on them
  • Breaks taken to the end
  • Tasks finished by hand
  • Sets of four completed

Best day, week and month shows your highest session counts. They show what your work added up to.

The Best day, week and month panel: the most sessions in one day, with the date, then the most in a week and in a month.
The Totals panel: six figures with their captions, sessions that ran their length, hours measured here, days with a session on them, breaks taken to the end, tasks finished by hand, and sets of four complete, then the date it counts from.
The Start and end times panel: 2 figures, usually begins around and usually ends around, read from the days of the last 3 months with a session on them.

Start and end times

Start and end times shows when your first session of the day usually starts. It also shows when your last session usually ends. Both come from the last 3 months.

You see where your working day really begins and ends. That helps you set a fair end to the day in Settings.

Interruptions

Interruptions counts the interruptions you noted in each month of the last year. They come in 2 kinds. From inside is a thought or an urge. From outside is a person or a phone.

After 1 or 2 months you know your usual interruptions. Often it is the phone. Once you know that, you can put the phone in another room.

The Interruptions panel: a count of interruptions from inside, a thought or an urge, a count from outside, a person or a phone, and a bar for each month of the last year.

The year

Each square is 1 day. A square is darker when more sessions ran that day. Each column is 1 week of the year. You see your busiest weeks and your holidays at a glance.

The year panel: one square for each day of the last year, in columns of weeks, darker where more sessions ran and pale on days without a session, with a legend from Fewer to More.

Milestones

See how close the next milestone is.

Each milestone has levels. Free shows each milestone you reach. Plus also shows the levels ahead and your count toward each one.

The Time recorded group on the Milestones screen: Sessions recorded at level 4 of 7, 1,000 sessions reached, next 2,500 with a progress count and bar; and a milestone for the first session recorded.
1,000 sessions reached. The next level is 2,500.
The Tasks and breaks group on the Milestones screen: Interruptions noticed at level 1 of 2, Full sets with all levels reached, Breaks taken with all levels reached, Accurate estimates, Estimates revised and Tasks finished each at level 1 of 2 with their progress, and 4 milestones that appear only once they happen: Full set, Started again, Left a note and A long break taken.
The Tasks and breaks group counts the work around your sessions.

Each level counts something you did, such as sessions or days. You keep each level you reach. Read about the research behind milestones.
