Work Stopwatch

And what's ten years? Well, it's roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness. -- Malcom Gladwell

Have you dreamed of putting Malcom Gladwell's blanket proclamation to the test, but wilted at the thought of counting the hours for a large fraction of your life? Then this is the program for you!

This graphical stopwatch app tracks the amount of time you have spent overall on a certain task. It saves your progress when you close the window so that you don't have to track the time yourself.

Installation

Dependencies:

  • Python >3.0
  • Linux Operating System (Any Distro should work, as long as you have a suitable /home/YOUR_NAME directory.)
  1. Run install.py to copy the necessary assets into a folder in your /home/YOUR_NAME subdirectory. You can change DESTINATION in install.py to install the assets in a different place if you want.
  2. That's it. Enjoy your newfound awareness of time's passage!

Use

Run main.py to start the program, then press start. This button toggles the stopwatch on or off.

When you close the program, the current time will be saved in clockSource.txt in the installation folder.
