-We suggest that you write the project name in the <gui>activity</gui> field and use <gui>category</gui> to define the project in its wider context - is it private or work, or something else?

-You can use tags to distinguish between different activities in the
-project. For example: <input>presentation work, #writing</input>.
+For more sophisticated tracking try to caption your activity in one or two

+Use the <gui>category</gui> to describe the activity in it's wider context -

+Finally, use <gui>tags</gui> to describe your actual action - is it reading
