<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I've always had trouble with focusing, procrastination, and general productivity.  The [Pomodoro Technique] has been incredibly helpful for me, and is worth a discussion on its own.  

I've recently come up with a system that generates nightly logs all of my work for the day.  It grabs completed pomodoros and completed OmniFocus tasks, and pushes them to a nicely formatted text document.  

Much like documenting eating habits and workout regimens for fitness, documenting work logs has been hugely beneficial.  Having a record of how you spend your time has been especially motivating.  (Also, you can't lie to yourself about how much or little you're actually accomplishing.)

This particular solution won't work for most folks, but maybe you can come up with something similar to incorporate into your workflow.  

How it works: [Pomodoro] has a setting to output all completed pomodoros as events in iCal (nice in its own right).  I tweaked the applescript in [this thread] to scrape those events, as well as completed Omnifocus tasks into a text document.  I created a new calendar in iCal (that I keep hidden) with a recurring event at 11:00 every night, and set the event alarm to run the script. 

[Grab the script here]  You'll have to change the path to your text document and the Calendar name to scrape from, if it isn't "Pomodoros".
<bot>: The Pomodoro Technique rocks.  Journaling and record keeping are important for both motivating yourself and keeping yourself accountable.  Automation is excellent.
