Find the work that gives you energy.
An energy audit starts with a simple question about the work you already track: did it give you energy, or take it away?
Start with the time you’ve tracked.
Check-in starts with today’s unmarked time, then moves back through earlier days. Your notes lead each card, with the task, client, project and linked work there for context.
Gave energy, or took it?
Swipe or use the arrow keys: right for gave, left for took. Undo brings back previous cards, even across days. Rate how the work felt to you; useful or demanding work can go either way.
Group the small stuff.
Review individual entries, or group by task, label, project or client. Expand a group when an entry deserves a different rating.
Find the pattern.
Insights pairs a recent energy trend with the hours behind it. Explore a day, then break the work down by client, project, task or label. Green means gave energy, orange means took energy, and grey is unmarked.
Choose something to change.
Use recurring patterns to start a conversation. Try changing when work happens, batching it, getting support or sharing responsibilities. The ratings describe your experience; they are not a judgement of the work’s value.
A team view, with clear boundaries.
People rate their own time. Managers see the energy ratings of their assigned team members; company admins can see the organisation. Filter by team or person, then explore the work behind the pattern.
The team trend gives each eligible person equal weight. Use it for conversations about the experience of work, not to rank people’s performance or infer their health.
Recent work matters more.
The trend gives recent rated hours more influence, with their weight halving every three days. Actual hours stay visible below. Empty days aren’t treated as recovery, and the score isn’t a battery estimate.
