We've been thinking about the best way to use screen data for a while now. After 500k hours of beta use, we're launching Dayflow: the open source automatic work journal. One of my favorite @rabois-isms: the best predictor of success is how well you allocate your time. But nobody actually knows where it goes. Memory lies, calendars only show the plan. Dayflow shows you the truth about today so you can be intentional about tomorrow.
