Tracking tasks in Obsidian

A couple of days ago, I made a simple addition to my Pomodoro timer. To better keep track of work done in a given day, I edited my daily notes template of my Obsidian journal to include a table with a row for each pomodoro interval, explaining what I did during that interval:

---
type: research journal
pomodori: 
---
# Tasks of the day
| Hours | Task |
| ----- | ----- |
# Topics
- 

# Ideas and Insights
- 

I now keep track of when a new interval starts, and write a new row after each interval ends. This row includes:

• The start and end time of the interval
• Space for a one-sentence summary of what I did during that interval

START_TIME=$(date +%H:%M)
ENTRY="$JOURNAL/$(date +%Y-%m-%d) Research Journal.md"
⋯

NEW_ROW="| $START_TIME — $(date +%H:%M) | ⋯ |"
sed -i "s/# Topics/$NEW_ROW\n# Topics/" "$ENTRY"

A short and quick addition, but I’ve noticed that it helps me keep focused on one specific task during each 25-minute interval, for now. As an example:
