Work Logger - Log Your Daily Work with a Turn of a Knob

The Work Logger helps you log your daily work without any effort - no more spreadsheets needed.

Story
The Work Logger is a little everyday helper to log my working time. It tracks WHEN I am doing WHAT. And it does this with just little turn of a knob.

Problem
As a business analyst, I work in different projects. And in those projects I do different things. At the end of the day I try to remember what I spent my working time on - which is usually not easy after a long day. I used pen and paper, spread sheets and other tools, but they all somehow involved to much effort to use them.

Solution
The hardware Work Logger is basically a turn knob that points to what I am currently working at. So it takes one turn to record my work. As soon as I do not turn the potentiometer any more for 3 seconds it sends the current work position to a google forms questionnaire. Google takes care of adding a timestamp. At the end of the day I have a list of my jobs done on a Google spreadsheet.”
