Labeling Lifeline sessions helps you better understand your workflow rhythm. By assigning emoticons and/or text labels, you can track in more detail how you spend your attention and detect patterns. The combination of an emoticon plus text label gives you the flexibility to track your attention and tasks in whichever way suits your needs.
For example, you can use the emoticon to designate between different projects (one unique emoticon for each individual project) and track which project tasks you worked on using the text labels. Another way of doing it can be to use the emoticons to highlight specific categories of activities (e.g., email, writing, sales calls) and the text label to add further context.
There are several ways to add a label to your sessions.
By default, Lifeline shows Pro users the option to label sessions in the session launch panel. A similar panel shows up when you end your sessions.
You can label a session during a session by expanding Lifeline and right-clicking the progress bar. Doing so brings up a panel that looks similar to the one displayed below.
You can also use the session label window shortcut by pressing ^ + ⌥ + L.
Finally, you can pull down your history view from the top of the screen, right-click any session, and then change the label there.
Once you start typing in the session label input field, you'll notice an auto-complete function. It looks at everything you've previously entered in the field and makes suggestions as you type. Note that Lifeline will also automatically add the emoji you used previously for an entry.
Click the blue, downward arrow next to the input field to open the history drop-down list.
The blue items at the top are loaded from your Calendar. All other ones are ranked based on popularity (amount of times used). Note that you can use your trackpad or scrolling wheel to extend and browse through the list.
