clean up activity tracking

There are a lot of weird rough edges when working with the activity log, especially when trying to retroactively modify activities:

• Can’t “switch to meeting” after the end of the scheduled time of a meeting

• Can’t modify start time of a meeting while it is ongoing

• Can’t drag the end of an activity to make it <4 minutes

• If you forget to end a session at the end of the day, when you open locu the next day you can’t easily set the end time of the session

  • You can delete the session completely but then you lose real data from the session start time and possible task sessions within the session

  • You can drag the beginning of the task session before midnight, then go to the previous day, and drag it to the actual end time, then do that again but for the session

  • Both this and previous would be most easily fix with a dialog where you can just type the activity duration or the start/end time

• Modifying the start/end of the session moves the task sessions inside the session.

  • This almost never makes sense. The task sessions don’t really ever mean “this task was worked on for 15 minutes, 12 minutes after the session was started”. It means “this task was worked on from 10:30 to 10:45”.

  • The only time I want changes in the session to affect the task sessions, is when the task session no longer fits inside the session. Then, the task session should be truncated to fit inside the session.

• If I move the start or end time of a task session, if it overlaps with another task session, I want it to push that task session out of the way (not by moving the task session, see above, but by truncating whichever end is overlapped)

  • Right now, I have to update the start of one task, then the end of the other task to match.

• Time that is both in a session and in a meeting is double-counted in the day total work time

Really like being able to retroactively see my task log, but I do a lot of context switching and the UX of the activities pane is the main pain point for me in Locu. Thanks!
