Track Time

Track Your Time

A brief evening check-in to review how you spent your day. Categorize your time and spot patterns over weeks.

Steps

1. Review today's calendar — Use your calendar skill to pull all events and meetings from today. Note start and end times.

2. Fill in the gaps — Calendar events only show part of the picture. Ask the user what they did between meetings. Keep it quick — broad categories are fine.

3. Categorize time — Sort the day into buckets:

   • Work (meetings, focused work, email)
   • Personal (errands, chores, family)
   • Health (exercise, cooking, sleep)
   • Learning (reading, courses, practice)
   • Fun (hobbies, socializing, entertainment)
   • Other

4. Show the breakdown — Display a simple summary of hours per category.

5. Note patterns — If you've tracked multiple days, mention any emerging patterns (too many meetings, not enough downtime, etc.).

That's a solid balance — keep it up.

Notes

• This should take less than 2 minutes. Don't turn it into an interrogation.
• Rough estimates are perfectly fine. Nobody needs to-the-minute tracking.
• The goal is awareness, not optimization. Some "unproductive" time is healthy.
• If the user seems burned out, acknowledge it instead of pushing for more productivity.
• Track patterns over time rather than judging any single day.
