How to set a minimum usage length for item tracking?
How to set a minimum usage length for item tracking?
Hi Rescue Time team,
I hope this request wasn't made before, I didn't really find anything via search quickly...
My problem: I drown in useless tracking information. Currently 81 pages of it. Although it is important in general and for different applications to track every second, it is not that much for websites unfortunately.
Practically spoken, I'm just not interested / there is no need for "information" about websites I visited from around two seconds up to ~30 seconds.
I just will never tag them and 98% of them will I never go to again. And if, maybe the tracking of them would be useful then, but the 2 seconds from a year ago of course won't make the data that more valuable! *lol*
What do I mean? I'd like to see:
1. The ability to delete all data that is based on an activity length smaller than e.g. two minutes e.g. on an website. The length (two minutes or 30 seconds or even five minutes) should be customizable by the user, but the deletion process should delete the data "all at once".
2. An alternative, better possibility would be to at least hide these data (again after configurated by the user individually!) from the user until maybe one website is visited again and maybe then we'll add the website again to the visible, "to-tag/to-categorize" website after it was visited e.g. 01:58 minutes the second time and 00:03 minutes in the first place. This way together it'll rise above the barrier of e.g. two minutes.
3. It could maybe just not track any websites/services you are visiting/using shorter than two minutes, at all! From the beginning. Maybe this could also be more usable through a connection of the two principles above: The tracking would be done in the first place of course (because anything else is not technically easily implementable), but after it is done tracking the certain website, it hides it immediately, if it didn't rise above the e.g. two minutes barrier.
4. Now you could also add this behaviour: It keeps the stuff tracked, but after a certain period of time (maybe also user customizable to minize the customer complaints ;-)) all the stuff will be deleted, as Rescue Time recognizes, that the website hasn't been visited again / the software hasn't been used again!
What do you think? :)
I hope this will find its way into your improvement processes.
Thanks for listening & kind regards.
