How do I find out what I was doing at a specific time?
On the dashboard, I have a Time Spent chart. It says that at 4pm, I spent 24 minutes of "discretionary" time. Discretionary is the tag that I used for all apps and URLS that are time wasters. I couldn't remember what I was doing at 4pm, so I tried clicking on the 4pm bar chart to see what I was doing then, but that didn't show me anything. How do I find out what I was doing at 4pm (I am trying to figure out what I was wasting my time on)?

Inappropriate?hmmm
Why woudl you want to knwo where you wasted your time at 4pm?
I'd like to knwo where I wasted my time ALL DAY :-)
You could always read your log files . . . not as pretty as the dashboard but it works when you want to know exactly when you did something.

Guy, the point is that I spent 24 minutes of unproductive time, but I do not remember wasting any time. When I see 24 minutes of wasted time on my chart, I want to know what I wasted my time doing, so that I don't repeat it.
For example, it would have been nice to click on the 24 minutes of wasted time in my chart, and see that I spent it browsing Digg.com. I would then know that I wasted too much time (in the middle of my workday at 4pm) wasting time on Digg. As it stands right now, I don't remeber what I wasted my time on in the middle of my workday. -
Inappropriate?ok Fernando so you are on a mission to find out what you were doing at 4pm. I am now looking at my dashboard for yesterday and I want to know what I was doing from 2-3 because I know what i was doing at 4: I was going home :-)
I have 54 min at 55 seconds but I don't know where they came from. Perhaps this is a wish list item.
However, closer to your question I look at NEWS as one of my time wasters. So I click on the NEWS bar in my top 10 APPS list Yesterday I spent 11 minutes in the 8 'oclock hour and 2 minutes in the 9 o'clock hour. But that is still not good enough. I want to know exactly what I was doing inthe 8 o'clock hour.
When I look at the list of apps/sites below this new graph I can see how many minutes I spent on each but I don't know at what time. e.g. I know I spent 3 minutes on news.google.ca but in which hour?...click on the app name and I find out that the 3 minutes was all spent inthe 8 o'clock hour. I can move on down the list until I account for all my NEWS time. . . or which ones I used during the 8 o'clock hour.
I gather from your post that you have tagged as "discretionary" some of your time wasters and you wonder which one of those you used in the 4 o'clock hour. What I described may be tedious if you ahve a dozen discretionary apps but it WILL give you the answer.
I’m needing some more discretionary time

Inappropriate?Guy. You understand my problem! The process you described helps me a little, but the problem is that I have 30 or so apps and sites that are "time wasters". The process you described would be way too tedious, especially since I want to do this often. Can the functionality you described be added as a feature request?
