BooungTracker is flexible — there's no single "right" way to use it. Here are a few common patterns depending on your workflow.
① Full-time writer or artist with long sessions
If you work for extended periods throughout the day, use the title field to label what you're working on (e.g., a chapter, scene, illustration, or project). Then divide your day into time blocks and log your output for each one.
You can customize the number of columns to match your actual schedule. For example, if you work from early morning through the afternoon, you might use 4 columns like this:
| Title | Dawn | Morning | Afternoon | Evening |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chapter 3 | 800 | 1200 | 600 | — |
| Character design | — | 2 | 3 | — |
This makes it easy to see not just how much you produced, but when — which helps you identify your peak hours over time.
If you worked on multiple titles or pieces in a single day, you can enter them separated by commas (e.g., A, B, C). Each one will then be tracked separately in the Work by Title summary, so you can see your total output per project across the month.
There's no fixed set of time blocks. Use whatever breakdown reflects how your day actually runs.

② Fixed tasks, no time tracking needed
If your tasks are consistent day-to-day (e.g., always working on the same project or medium), put the task or project name in the column header and simply log a number each day — word count, pages, illustrations, or hours. You can Hide the title column if you don't need it.
