Default RescueTime

In theory I have about 15 hours a day to be productive. Truth is, I find it hard to be productive for more than 3 hours a day yet I spend hours and hours in front of this computer!

I've had RescueTime on my computer for months, unloved and unvisited so today I visited.
Ahem in the past 6 days - Social Networking over 11 hours, Pavlina over 11 hours... I wondered where all my time went, now I know!
'Uncategorized' about 9 hours!

RT scores social networking with productivity -2 and Pavlina as 'business intelligence +2' (ahem and if I believe that I believe anything! LOL!)

Anyway, I've decided to put some effort in to recategorizing the most often visited websites and softwares but not to the nth degree unless something starts taking up a lot of time again (like say more than 3 hours a week).

The free version only gives you a month - I think I'll pay a bit more attention to it and see how it goes and then maybe upgrade to the year version - but I think I know what it would say right now!


Ah - just discovered with the paid version you can block sites it deemed 'productivity -2' however it automatically includes instant messengers of various versions as -2 which is where I do a lot of my coaching work! So if you get this software, make sure you check out carefully the assigned productivity levels for different software and assign your own where necessary!
