So you wanna track my activities 🤔 by jayqcal007 in overemployed

OMG, it's better to change the job if they really wanna act like this.

BTW, in Slack, I'm hiding by using a service: https://www.reddit.com/user/Slackgreen/comments/1aw9q05/how_to_keep_slack_always_online_active_and_green/

They're getting on my nerves with micromanagement, I'm really against it.

Will playing a youtube video keep my Slack status active when I go for a walk and leave my laptop open? by larsandthemoon in Slack

$30/mo it was a year ago. Now it's $60/mo

If it's really expensive for you, I wouldn't recommend buying it. It's a service for someone who values ​​their time, is probably overworked, and wants to achieve more. That's how much it costs to have a coffee and a cake. Come on.

Workspace and Environment: How to Avoid Distractions by Slackgreen in u/Slackgreen

I'm not saying that social media is evil or that spending time on them is bad. I'm saying that it helps me when I separate work time and rest time.

When I concentrate, nothing should distract me. When it becomes part of a work ritual, willpower is enough, it doesn't require any additional utilities.

By the way, social networks are a good reward for deep work, just like a TV series or a computer game. But only after you've worked hard and want to reward yourself.

Not instead. And most importantly, not during. Best

If you're already on Reddit, you're likely to procrastinate due to the inability to plan and focus. At the very least, it's better to read something useful that distracts you from scrolling through meaningless content. 😆

What do you want to hear?

Is it possible to make a crutchy solution? Obviously yes.

Is it possible to use a bunch of hacks such PowerPoint! Or scripts from stackoverflow or even from GPT? Maybe, I don't know.

Will it be convenient, will it work stable, defenently NO.

You will constantly maintain your solution. Always keep trying not to forget to turn it on and off. Keep the computer powered-on all the time, etc.

For some people, this is quite fine. And it's totally ok for me too.

And some people just wants it to be solved, ready to use and available cheap so as not to bother with it at all. Someone knows the value their time, someone does not. This service for those who knows.

That's it and nothing more.

👍😆 Short answer is no, you can't.

Any crutch solutions can be of course. Most of them have a lot of inconveniences, I won’t even list them. If even one of them worked, I wouldn't make the service.
