🙋Hi again PH! I'm back with project 2, Make Yourself Great Again, which was inspired by project 1. 📅 Last time, when I launched nomad(hubb), people seemed to resonate with the project… but they really seemed to resonate with my story of learning to code for the last 9 months and tracking my progress throughout. 🕙 So when @marie_dm_ announced that Women Make was doing a 30-day challenge, I set out with a goal to somehow quantify the shift in my mindset that has allowed me to learn/do/make more since February. 🔍After 8 days of procrastinating, I realized I took a hard look at how I was spending my time and thus, the idea was born. 25 days later, here is MYGA - a digital “look in the mirror”. 📈 It's meant to be a personal reflection tool to help you better understand how you spend your time, and thus your life. You can add activities, track your weekly time spend, and explore tools that may help you on your path to "being great". 😀Let me know what you think! What are your "multipliers"? Mine personally was 1.9, but can honestly say that prior to focusing on coding, it was probably closer to a 5. 🙀

Great work! I'd be amazing if there was some way for this tool to automatically or semi-automatically collect this data. Collecting the data is really the biggest bottleneck to tracking productivity. When it can be done automatically, it's very effective. iOS 12 Screentime has already reduced my social media usage significantly for example.

@dilan Great point! A few people have brought this up so I guess I should look into whether I can plug into apps like RescueTime. Glad you've been able to spend less time on social - I'm still working on this!

@stephsmith nicely done. Have you considered adding an input for school related options? I think this could be an excellent way for students middle/high school to visualize their use of time. Im thinking this would be a nice intro prior to a parent conference? Id bet they would see a correlation between the investment in time and performance. Funny but true observation. Students should also consider their time spent hung over.

@greaterthan1000 Hi Sam! I actually hadn't considered this. I added a sleep/work section which is only triggered if you want to edit it (it's subtle) but could add a school section. Let me know how I can help you create this! I could make some simple changes and make a school-specific version. Feel free to message or email me: hello@stephsmith.io :)

Definitely ticks the OCD part of me - but I do wonder whether it would ever save more time than it'd actually eat up... well, time will tell - trying it out!

Hm, actually... I may be missing something - but is this really a "product"? takes 10 inputs and then does a couple of basic calculations. Hmmmmmm

@joe_voeghan If you explore the tool more, it also allows you to track your results over time and suggests tools for improvement. 🙂 A "product" doesn't need to be AI-powered to be a product and there are so many products out there that are simple, but deliver value.

@stephsmith Fair enough! Actually linking people to solutions/tools certainly gives value as long as the recommendations are targeted and relevant (also doable! we all know we need to spend more time on ourselves... actually doing it is another thing entirely)

This is really well done Steph! I like that it's not just about tracking time, but also about improving the way you allocate it. I can really feel that the project's focus is on self-improvement, and giving your users the tools to do that. Great job 😊

Nice product. But I don't think Youtube is a distraction. I learn most of the stuff I have to learn from Youtube. I count that as my learning time.

@iamsooraj Fair enough @sooraj! I added the ability to add segments in case the ones there didn't really account for everything. 🙂 I would put your Youtube time under Learning New Skills in that case. Congrats on spending time learning!
