Show HN: Research-Based Tool for Improving Focused Work and Productivity

[philroselli]

Timeslot is a new web-based tool, currently in beta, designed to track focused work time versus meeting hours as part of a research study in collaboration with the BrightPath Foundation and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Timeslot syncs with your calendar to measure time allocation and create a personal productivity index. By joining the beta, you’ll get early insights into productivity patterns and contribute to research aimed at improving time management practices and understanding cognitive load in students and knowledge professionals.

The beta includes features like calendar integration, real-time productivity feedback, and optional Spotify playlists for concentration. Beta users will receive the whitepaper (currently under review in Human Factors journal) summarizing findings from this study.

If you’re interested in productivity research and tracking tools, we’d love for you to join and share your feedback.
