tt

What is it?

Time tracking script using hledger and timeclock format. Get hledger from hledger.org. Read about the timeclock format here.

Why would I want this?

This makes it easy to keep track of how much time you spend on different activities. You might want that informally to monitor productivity, or formally for invoicing.

How do I use this?

tt in email            # start reading email
tt switch my project   # stop reading email and start working on 'my project'
tt out                 # go to lunch
tt tail                # remember what you were doing before lunch
tt i 13:00 my project  # forgot to clock in at 1PM, log the time explicitly
tt sw my other project # start working on 'my other project'
tt o 16:00             # forgot to clock out; log it as 4PM explicitly

If you only care about how much you're working, and not what you're working on, then it's even easier. You can just use tt i when you start working, and tt o when you stop. The activity will default to "work."
