This feature lets you easily review and reflect on your daily productivity trends over the year. By observing patterns and changes in the grid, you can identify your most productive periods and understand your time management habits, enabling more effective planning and goal-setting for the future. Clicking a square tells you how much time has been recorded for that day.
