In the spirit of feeling (and being) productive, I’ve started tracking all the development hours I spend working on Cashboard. Up until now I’ve skipped it, estimating how long I spend working on it every month. It’s interesting to see exactly how much time it takes to get things accomplished, and keeps me motivated on those days I don’t feel like working. I also finally took the plunge and upgraded my development machine to Mac OS 10.5.4 yesterday. One of the great things in Leopard I’m enjoying so far is the web clip capability. It allows you to select any part of a web page, and use it as a desktop widget.

I’ve created a web clip widget to display all of my hours from inside Cashboard. It’s positioned right next to my Cashboard time tracking widget. Now I know how long I’ve worked, and I can keep tabs on how many more hours I need to put in for the rest of the day. Interesting feedback loop, if nothing else.
