Hey everyone, I am the person behind everyhour. I am here all day and on Twitter there after. I have recorded every hour of every day for three years - do you have any questions? ❓ Why I built everyhour: If someone asked you to do something, you would likely do it for them. Motivation isn’t even a thought. But when you give yourself a task, it’s much harder. There is no accountability to yourself. Suddenly, your targets fall, you neglect the things that make you happy and you burn out. As work-life blends more and more with home-life, we need some sort of accountability for ourselves and all our tasks, and this is why I really believe in tracking things (like Strava does for exercise, calorie trackers for diets, and so on). I had tried a variety of tools (automated or otherwise) and found a host of issues: 🤬 Too Complex: While mobile apps may be available, actual logging of time can be challenging (typically requiring multiple inputs of start times and end times and more — all of which are not relevant to my use-case). 😰Pressure: When using Toggl, I felt constantly under a timer even when I couldn’t see it. 🥸Too Specific: when it told me I had done 12 hours 42 minutes and 25 seconds of Exercise so far, I really don’t care. everyhour solves these. 📕 The story: I started time tracking with a spreadsheet as I didn’t understand how people flippantly said they worked 60 hour weeks. I then started tracking my time outside work and found it gave me real targets and motivation. Then I built everyhour to make the tracking easier. With it, I have : 🏃 completed an Ironman 70.3, 👾 learnt to code, 👋 quit two jobs, 🛖 become nomadic, But more importantly: 🏠 doubled the time I spend with my partner ↘️ reduced the hours doing work I hated by 70% 🔮 The future: everyhour is completely free right now, though I do have plans to monetise it in the future. I want to validate that this helps others too.

I have been asked via twitter DMs, how did I decide on the categories of time (every pot/category you create needs a type). The types I settled on are 🛏 Just Living, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Social, 🏆 Hobbies, 🏢 Work, 🏃 Exercise, 📺 Leisure, 🧹 Admin and Chores, ❤️ Self Care. ...and it took me ages to decide on them! Do you think they make sense as the most abstract categorisations of what we do?

@dagorenouf Thanks! Honestly it is momentum and also part of my reward now. In the same way Strava is a reward for doing exercise, recording time into my exercise pots, or project pots or family and friends pots is a reward - and I have targets on all of them. Plus the app is on my phones home page!

Sounds like a very useful app, I am eager to try it out. As for the categories, I think you did a great job of finding general ones which apply to a lot of schedules.

In recent times I have struggled to strike a balance and reduce distractions by all the devices that I often forget to prioritize my true goals and people that I love. This app is the perfect solution in my opinion...love the fact that I can analyze and track my progress in a very user friendly way.

Everyhour seems like a perfect app to track my goals and prioritize tasks in a very smooth and undaunting way. Really like the fact that it doesn't have a timer and actually simplifies the tasks. Analyzing features gives a sense of accountability and would definitely encourage me to strive towards balance. Great app!
