I've been working on a project called Timeback, designed to provide insights into how we spend our time at work, with a specific emphasis on meeting analytics. The genesis of this project was a simple question: "Where does my time go during the workday?" And I realized there was a lack of tools providing clear, actionable answers backed by data.
The first step, Timeback Profiles, is inspired by the transparency of GitHub profiles. It's a personal dashboard that represents your workday as a wealth of data, transforming meetings, focus sessions, and completed tasks into a map of your work patterns.
But, this isn't just a trophy cabinet. It’s a living, breathing data set, packed with insights for you to take action and drive outcomes. Key metrics like focus time, time spent in meetings, and meeting cost expenses come together in a monthly snapshot, while a heatmap visualizes your activity, making patterns tangible and insights actionable.
Your profile includes badges, like "Meeting Budgeter" or "Deep Work Dynamo," which highlight your unique work style and help you better understand your time management.
Perhaps most interestingly, Timeback Profiles are shareable. This allows for comparison and learning from others' work patterns, fostering a collective pursuit of effective time management. It's not about boasting or rivalry, but about understanding bandwidth, learning from peers, and making informed decisions about time.
Here's an example of a Timeback Profile: https://timeback.so/recmend
I'd love for you to try it out, compare it with peers, and share your feedback.
Excited to hear your thoughts!
