Goodtime

A journal for which hours give you energy and which take it.

Log it, rate it twice

Write down what you did and rate it on two things: engagement from one to five, and energy from minus to plus around a real zero, so a flat hour reads as flat. If it took you somewhere else entirely, mark it as flow.

Reflect once a week

Pick the moments that stood out, the highs and the lows, and take each through five prompts: activities, environments, interactions, objects, users. Picking none is a fine answer.

Read the map

Every activity is plotted by engagement against energy on a quadrant: more of this, engaging but costly, pleasant filler, redesign or reduce. Below it, your energizers, your drainers, and how the last three weeks ran.

What is not in it

No account, no subscription, no ads, no AI reading your notes, no streaks or reminders. Your journal stays on your device. It follows the good time journal exercise from Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, which runs about three weeks.
