As a designer, do you track your daily focus and productivity?

What tools do you use for that?

Not a designer. But yes.
Maintain three daily logs:
- Full time job
- Side project
- Personal chores
Log in 3-4 deliverables / things to complete in a day against each.
Do a weekend review on where & how much I fell short.

@sanat_mohanty All this tracking is manual?

@badrabouelanouar it is. But manual = high touch personal investment. High the personal investment, better the odds of completing it :)

@badrabouelanouar currently yes.
@sanat_mohanty Chapeau my friend, that's quite work!
@sanat_mohanty I believe if you are a disciplined person, the tools become just an accessory.
Yes but I do it manually.
@charliee1122 Isn't it a trying task?
I track my daily focus and productivity by tasks finished, more importantly, the tasks that I've set myself finished.
So task based measurements of productivity.
If you're designing an app for tracking productivity, I think something more completion based rather than time based would work relatively well.
I use makerlog to keep myself accountable since there's community involvement
@richard_gao2 Very nice approach!
Yes I mainly use Toggl for it it's a pretty good tool to track your time. Used Harvest before but Toggl is just a bit easier to use.
