• Tracker ** Summary Tracker enables improving happiness and impact of work.

** Background *** Flow State [[flow.jpg]]

Flow happens when skill meets challenge. In tracker we regularly monitor whether the work challenge or effort matches our skill level.

*** Pomodoro

Pomodoro is a time boxing method where you set a distraction free time to do focused work.

** Goals

1. Easy tracking of flow states through out the day
2. Easy tracking of pomodoro sessions
3. Increase happiness and impact of work

** Future work

1. Incorporate GTD
2. Incorporate Eisenhower Matrix

** How? *** Daily

1. Set a time slot for work ie 25 minutes
2. Start counter
3. Work
4. When counter ends run tracker increment <challenge-level>
5. Take a 5 minute (or whatever is comfortable) break
6. goto step 1 if done < k or stop

*** Weekly Retro Run tracker show weekly and then optimize for flow and pomodoro sessions.
