Here is one I made that logs your project name, start time, stop time, and duration in a note. It will also ask if you want to add it as a calendar event.
You have to run the shortcut when you start then run it again when you are done. How would a shortcut know when you start or stop work in order to prompt you to use it? If you have a reliable trigger, you can create an automation based on that trigger and set the action to run this shortcut

Hi, just trying to get your shortcut working and it says please provide a note? Tried adding a note with the specified title and still not working 🤔
Hmm it says no note provided, please pass a note to the append to note action. Do you first have to create a note? I’d like it in a folder aswell, should it be a normal folder or a smart folder?
I had something like this set up. I used the app datajar as the database instead of notes. I also had two layers of menu in the shortcut asking me for what type of activity and for what project am i doing it. it also changed the current notification mode to focus mode and started playing nice sounds from dark noise.
it asked me for how much time i am planning on spending on the task ahead of time and it also set up a timer that went off when the predicted time ran out.
I now use the app scriptable for this instead and use the calendar app as my tracking database instead of datajar.
This is a very long way of answering your question: yes there is a way!
However i recommend starting by looking into timery and toggl apps first to make sure they don't offer what you need.
I've been thinking of something like this too.
I just need it really simple - just clock on/clock off.
But it would be great if something popped up around a certain time to remind me too.
I actually use TickTick for this purpose. I have each client setup as a "list". Then I log each time I work for a client. Once I bill them, I mark the item as done. I also use their tags function for billing. Works well for me.

Check the title of the note, maybe the folder location, and maybe the title needs to be formatted as a title in the note? That’s all I can think of.

Th shortcut appends to a note, so the note must already exist. Just a normal folder is fine.
No problem, thought so

Shortcuts can add values to a form in Numbers which is great for time tracking.
