Keep proof of the time you put in.
Timelaps is a habit dashboard that records the work between laps. Keep a short video of the chapter, practice, cleanup, or project you actually showed up for.

Seeing progress helps.
A meta-analysis of 138 randomized studies found that prompting people to monitor progress improved goal attainment. Separate research on implementation intentions supports making a concrete plan for when, where, and how to act.
These studies did not test Timelaps or camera recording. Research on planning and progress tracking informs the idea; it does not validate this app.
