I worked 60-70 hours a week for 6 months and destroyed by health ( actually programming for 50+ of those hours, tracked time since it was billable hours for a consulting firm). Finished the project by the deadline I was hired for, but quit soon afterwards and within 2 months I was in the ICU, and then in and out of the hospital several times with some serious chronic health issues that I'm still recovering from 2 yea…

You might want to read The Mindbody Prescription to resolve your lingering chronic health issues.

:P Thanks. Fun Fact I learned from that link: Supposedly, we'll be reaching our first trillion sometime between 2050 and 2060. That's actually pretty close.

That is neither fun nor a fact. Current UN projections put us on track for 9 billion in 2050, and we’ll top out at 11 or 12 billion in the early 22nd century: https://www.un.org/development/desa/publications/world-popul...

Pro tip: Fun facts are never fun, and pro tips are for ametuers.

Qbserve

Thanks this sounds like something I'd like to try - are there any others you considered whilst looking around as that is mac only and I'm Windows unfltunately ( or any one else in this thread do something similar )

Yes I think I remember RescueTime but that doesn't store your data locally I think?
