Tried the manual tracking a few times and it does not tend to stick. Passive capture is the approach that ever worked for me. Having different apps and devices with permissions to track you and good APIs that enable integrating the data seems to be the way to go.

Did you think of building some proactive AI tools to make use of all this centralized data?

"GitHub Open Source Contributions" aside, everything else falls into the consumption/intake/internal categories; thin data on production/output/external ones.

I wonder how much time you spend daily on tracking things / data entry
