I didn’t look at your report, since that seems private.

I’ve used Timings occasionally, and Vitamin-R2, which is a different approach. I’ve found Vitamin-R2 useful, as is the Pomodoro method that Vitamin-R2 is an extension of. Timings was less useful. First, it seemed to be constantly nattering me to report—which broke attention.
But, I get my work done. I already know I put far more tasks on my todo lists than I could ever act on. And my major challenge is always scheduling the work day around the constant interruptions of calls, emails demanding immediate attention, meetings, and commuting. My executive clients drive my schedule, I don’t, and I don’t think Findings would help much with that.

Maybe I’m wrong? I might have misunderstood the proper use of the software, but I found the process to be more annoying and stressful than necessary.
