Program to keep track of reading time
#1
Hello!
I have been trying to keep a tab on the time i spend doing a particular activity on my computer, eg: studying.

Initial approach:
An interactive program that required me to specifically tell it what i am reading, and then it would start a timer and then i would have to tell it when i am done so that it could stop the timer and update an excel sheet. That however proved to be impractical, as i found myself too indisciplined to do the above steps.
The program remained unused.

Current approach:
A program that is auto-run on start-up, which then periodically checks if onenote is running (from where i read). Then it just keeps track of that time.

However, the current approach loses data such as what topic i am reading and for how much time, which can be helpful in planning my further schedule.

Is there a way in which using the current approach, i can directly get the names of active sections and pages from onenote??

Any help will be highly appreciated.
