I took a screenshot here, though sorry for the language change. There are a number of Estimated Duration filters. I can make perspectives that filter for tasks that are started, but I haven't tracked much time on them.No weird OmniFocus database tweaks so it's future-proof.It's part of the app, so there's UI for it.By placing the tracked time in Estimated Duration, I get: Pros That is very annoying to do, especially since I have trouble finding enough time to do an honest review perspective session. If it's in some weird part of the OmniFocus database or in an OmniOutliner document, I probably have to manually move that data around and bring it back to the actual task. If it's in the note, then it's just being treated like a string. I've seen a few OmniFocus + OmniOutliner timer scripts though they've always just recorded that information where the tools I use couldn't reach it. (which is evidently not estimated, if it already happened.) I know this is a weird choice but hear me out. This plugin stores your tracked time in the estimated duration field. You can create perspectives using the estimated duration field, and I don't see many people using it for it's intended purpose, so I think this is a powerful spot to keep this information! (Benefits and caveats explained here.) This will take the difference between the start time and now, and put that into the estimated duration field of that task. Then, once you're done working on that task for the moment, select it again and click the Stop Timer action. There is no background task running these timers, so no worries about always having OmniFocus open! (You can time multiple tasks at once!) This saves a small file as an attachment to the task that records when the timer started. It's pretty easy to use! First, select the task you'd like to start timing and run the Start Timer action from either the Automation menu or by adding it to your toolbar.
