RescueTime knows how I spend my time
As you might know, I am mildly obsessed about statistics, visualization and productivity. And this is exactly the mix that makes RescueTime
so fascinating for me, RescueTime, marketed as "Time Management for Geeks" will analyze how much time you spend on your computer with what desktop or web applications and what websites. You can get a graph of the ten most used applications based on daily, weekly or monthly view. Additionally you are able to tag all applications and web sites in order to organize them into categories like work, personal, procrastination or according to activities like reading, writing, planning, etc. All in all a very helpful tool that tells me how I spend my time - and a website that has changed the way I work, even if I spend less then 7 minutes on most days on this website.
