TimeLeft- either at the beginning of a Pomodoro or at the end. I have TimeLeft reminders set up at each end of a Pomodoro:
At the beginning, I have a reminder that calls Microsoft Team chat to see if I’ve missed anyone contacting me. (Teams is already started; what happens is that Teams windows gets focused to top)
At the end, I have a reminder that starts ManicTime client (the main part of ManicTime runs in the background; the client is the window that displays the spent time). This is the Pomodoro Break, which I use to record my time for the last half-hour, which is how long my Pomodoro lasts.
There are other reminders that aren’t tied to a Pomodoro, such as:
Every Monday morning, a reminder pops up that opens Microsoft Project page so that I can record what I did last week. I use ManicTime to determine what I did.
Every two weeks, I have a window open so that I can approve my timecard for the last two weeks.
I have a reminder that is set up to run numerous times, notifying me that my PC will be restarted at 6pm. It runs at 5pm, 5:50 and every two minutes after that, until 5:58. I have another one set up that actually restarts the PC.
Thanks ….
