At the end of the day, I want to reconcile what did I PLAN to do (Do it now) versus What did I actually finish?

It is nice to tick off as you progress, but still it have to be nice at day end to "view" what was your output actually?

This also can form a "report" if you need to report to a manager what did you actually done TODAY - or in a date range?

In financial terms - you work with BUDGET, ACTUAL & VARIANCE. Maybe it will be nice to see something like this - which will indicate your effectiveness.
