ANALYZE YOUR DAILY WORKLOAD WITH RESCUE TIME
If you've ever wondered how many minutes a day you spend using Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Gmail, or how much of your day is "wasted" by community Web sites like Digg, Slashdot, or MetaFilter, a free app and Web service called RescueTime can track that info for you, as well as provide several other valuable features to monitor your time.
Monitoring productivity in the Internet age has become more complicated than ever, especially if you work online. E-mail, instant messaging, and multitasking keep many of us switching constantly between projects or contacts. RescueTime combines a local application and complementary Web-based software to track the time you spend with specific applications and Web sites, down to exact minutes and seconds.
Getting started with RescueTime is simple. You'll need to download and install the data collector and then sign up for an account on the RescueTime Web site in order to start tracking your productivity. The local software monitors your application/site usage, communicates with the Web service, and lets you manage your privacy and other program settings.
The Web service provides the meat of the RescueTime application. That's where you can view your usage statistics (as well as slice, dice, and tag them), set productivity goals and alerts, and grab HTML widgets for monitoring your time without even visiting the RescueTime site...
