I’ve been working on adding a set of widgets to Wasted TIme for iOS14. After playing with this program for over a decade, I realized people may not really understand the statistics on the totals page. This will may become more confusing once the widget is live.

Let’s take a look at the two sets of statistics on the new widget on iPadOS 14.

The to major items are “All Meetings” and “Lifetime”. “All Meetings” is about the meetings, while “Lifetime” is about yourself. You can reset the “All Meetings” but you can’t reset Lifetime.

So People, in “All Meetings” is the total number of people in the meetings since you last hit “reset” on the Totals tab. People in the “Lifetime” is the number of people in all your meetings, for all time.

Waste is the total waste for all the people. Again this can be Reset in “All Meetings”, but it can’t be reset in Lifetime. Cost; however, is the cost of the meetings in “All Meetings”, BUT in Lifetime, it is the cost to you for your time.

I’ve been thinking thru for a long time if I need to relabel things. What do you think?
