We want to solve:

We want to help people to stop wasting their own time.

How can we solve our problem?

We cannot manage time, we can only manage ourselves. We can improve the way we use the time we have.

  • We believe the data on how we use our time is the answer for minimising wasted time.
  • We want to help people track how they are spending their time and help people determine if they are being effective at working on their most valuable tasks.
  • By tracking the majority of one's day people can see how they are spending their time: e.g: 2h per day on "commuting", 1h on instagram, 1h making food, 2h watching TV/Netflix, etc...
  • With this data we can compare today's habits with yesterday's and the weeks and months before.

We are going to do something different, no "sell" just start a timer for the person and then guide them through the "on-boarding" immediately.

What if I don't know how to interpret the data / how to take action based on what the data shows?

Couldn't I just gather this data on another app?

Based on our learnings from the fields of behavioural science, psychology and management we will design Time in a way that encourages users to make the most of their data. We hope to create features that promote effective working methods such as organisational tools to help you stay focussed and to eliminate distractions.

@nelsonic @iteles - do you think this write up summarises how we want to solve our problem? Or is this more of the 'what'?

I've updated the top comment on this issue based on the comments below:

From #225 (comment):

Our Objective with building Time is to help people keep track of how they are spending their time and help people determine if they are being effective at working on their most valuable tasks.

Only by tracking the majority of one's day can the person truly see how they are spending their time (e.g: 2h per day on "commuting", 1h on instagram, 1h making food, 2h watching TV/Netflix, etc...)

we should compare ourselves to ourselves yesterday, last month, year, etc. And that can only be done with data.

We are going to do something different, no "sell" just start a timer for the person and then guide them through the "on-boarding" immediately.

@iteles @nelsonic - please could you let me know if you feel I am now more in tune with the concept?

@Cleop you've raised some good points here. 👍
Hopefully the revised https://github.com/dwyl/product-roadmap will answer some of your questions. 💡
