โฐ Time Tracking โ€” Master Your Most Valuable Resource

Time is the ultimate non-renewable resource. Loki's time tracking system helps you understand where your time actually goes, optimize your energy patterns, and build sustainable productivity habits that align with your natural rhythms.

๐ŸŽฏ Philosophy of Intelligent Time Tracking

Beyond Simple Logging

Strategic Time Awareness:

The Three Dimensions of Time

1. โฑ๏ธ Duration โ€” How long tasks actually take vs. estimates 2. โšก Energy โ€” When you're most/least productive during the day 3. ๐ŸŽฏ Focus โ€” Quality of attention and flow state frequency

Core Insight: The goal isn't to track every minute, but to develop conscious awareness of how time flows through your life. Track enough to learn, not so much that tracking becomes a burden.
