Trackabi Time Tracking

The "always busy, never done" paradox is real. In the middle of a workday, busyness and productivity feel exactly the same. You're moving fast, answering pings, and checking boxes—but that doesn't always mean you're making progress. The truth only comes out when you actually look at where the hours went. That’s why we built Trackabi. It gives you that moment of clarity so you can stop mistaking "being busy" for actually getting things done. How do you make sure your busy days are actually productive? Go, get it now! 🚀 trackabi.com

We’ve all been there: the late nights, the overflowing inbox, the feeling of being perpetually “on.” For years, the mantra was “hustle hard,” and burnout was almost a badge of honor. But let’s be real – that era is over. The conversation around wellbeing at work has shifted dramatically. It’s no longer about fancy office perks or reactive stress management; it’s about building a fundamentally healthier, more sustainable way to work, whether you're battling the commute or the lure of your living room sofa. To make this sustainable shift, we need to move beyond guesswork. By implementing daily wellbeing tracking and mapping it against productivity data, leaders can finally see the “why” behind the “what.” This data-driven empathy allows us to identify burnout before it happens and understand how our mental state directly influences our output. It’s time to stop guessing and start supporting. In line with this vision, we have started adding wellbeing tracking and analysis directly into Trackabi. While the current implementation is relatively simple, it is already providing teams with incredibly helpful insights into their daily health and performance patterns. This is just the beginning for us—there is much more to come as we continue to build tools that prioritize the human element of work! trackabi.com/blog/wellbeing

Trackabi supports Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), and we strongly recommend enabling it—especially for managers and team leads who have access to other users’ data. Not familiar with 2FA? 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account. In addition to your password, you’ll be asked for a one-time code generated by an authenticator app on your phone. Even if someone gets your password, they won’t be able to log in without that second factor. In case you have technical curiosity: TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) generates short-lived codes based on a shared secret and the current time. Your authenticator app creates a new code every 30 seconds, and each code can be used only once. Because the code constantly changes and is never reused, it’s extremely difficult for attackers to intercept or guess. Why enable 2FA? ✅ Stronger protection against unauthorized access ✅ Reduced risk from stolen or reused passwords ✅ Extra peace of mind when managing sensitive team data Take a minute to enable 2FA and keep your account secure. 🔒 More details: trackabi.com/help/2fa

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year! We wish you continued success in your business and remember that productivity is a cornerstone of achievement. Measure, analyze, and improve your results with Trackabi. Cheers!

🐸First Task, Biggest Win: Why You Must Eat the Frog "Eating the Frog" means starting your workday by conquering the one task that is most important, most difficult, and most likely to cause mental resistance. This strategy is named after an adage, often attributed to Mark Twain: "If it's your job to eat a live frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning." Following this logic, you treat your toughest task as the figurative frog and get the dreaded activity out of the way immediately. This instant victory eliminates the mental drag of procrastination, ensures your highest-impact work is completed, and generates unstoppable momentum for the rest of your day. While the concept is straightforward common sense, the key to success isn't just knowing the rule, it's making the conscious choice to apply this powerful, daily discipline.

Think boredom is bad? Indeed, boredom may seem like wasted time, but science shows it’s actually a hidden superpower for your brain. When you allow yourself to do nothing your mind taps into its Default Mode Network, the system behind creativity, reflection, and problem-solving. Explore the hidden benefits of boredom in our blog post: trackabi.com/blog/power-of-…

We have a new video guide for you! This video provides a comprehensive overview of how to track time using Trackabi’s web and desktop applications. The web timer is simple and convenient, ideal for quick time tracking, but it doesn’t support activity monitoring. For more advanced functionality, the desktop application includes features such as productivity analysis, activity scoring, screenshot capture, and idle detection. Users can view detailed timelines, analyze productivity based on application usage, adjust inactivity settings, and manually log or edit time—if permitted by account settings. The app also offers daily statistics, including total time logged, earnings, activity scores, and application usage breakdowns. Managers can access deeper insights through the Insights section of the web interface. youtu.be/zT_eK9wSYgw

We’ve released a new version of the desktop app that now supports automatic tracking during online meetings. The app can detect when you’re on a call and will prevent the timer from pausing due to inactivity. So yes — technically, you can even take a nap during a call, and the timer will keep running. Just remember: screenshots are still being taken. 😄 You can also configure the app to ignore inactivity while using specific applications relevant to your work. For example, some of our users mentioned that their job involves watching YouTube without typing or moving the mouse (lucky them!). In such cases, you can allow the timer to keep running while YouTube is in use. To add specific applications: 1. For all users: go to Settings > Productivity > Productivity Rules For specific roles: go to Roles > Productivity Rules 2. Create a new productivity rule with: • Application Type set to: Productive (ignore inactivity) • Application Name Keyword: enter the relevant keyword (e.g., “YouTube”) 💡You don’t need to configure anything for standard video call apps like Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, etc.—they’re already supported automatically.

MIT’s “Your Brain on ChatGPT” study looked at how using ChatGPT for writing can affect the way we think over time. The researchers found that relying too much on AI can lead to something called "cognitive offloading"—basically, your brain does less of the heavy lifting, which can weaken critical thinking and memory. So while tools like ChatGPT are super helpful, it’s a good idea to keep challenging your brain regularly to stay sharp. media.mit.edu/publications/y…
