Calculating your non‐typing editing percentage
Non-typing editing time percentage is a measure of the proportion of time spent not actively typing during the process of editing a document. This variable quantifies the duration in which an individual engages in tasks other than directly inputting new text or making textual revisions.
You will need:
- Obsidian app with the plugin enabled.
- Timer.
Set up your timer for 1 minute or any other duration (another good option is 1 minute 40 seconds. Then, activate it and start editing a note at your normal pace. Be focused on editing, but not on typing. Then, after the timer finishes compare the results that have been tracked by the plugin with your timer. Take the difference between the two and see how much of percentage it is of the time the timer has run.
Enter this value in the settings and do the evaluation again. If done correctly, you'll see the value be closer to the truth.
This might not work for you. Honestly, the only person I tested this on is myself. If it doesn't, then set it to a 0 or any other arbitrary number, I guess. There is no way to track the "real editing" time anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
Also, I realize that this variable may change depending on the mood, or type of a document being edited, time of the day, your habits changing, etc... But at least for me I think it works with the most notes I edit (at least I hope so), and if anything changes dramatically I can just re-calibrate.
