RescueTime

RescueTime

Now this is one useful (& FREE) application for people like me. If you wonder what happened with all those hours of ‘free time’ you had this week, this application will tell you exactly what happened to the hours you spent using your computer.

How long did you really spend on Facebook? What about checking your e-mails? Talking to people over IM? Photoshopping those pimples out of your profile picture? This software will tell you how much time you really spent doing each of these (with a ~95% accuracy).

I thought it was a pretty neat idea considering the amount of time I spend using my computer, this gorgeous iMac that probably sees my face longer than anyone/anything else, sadly.

Just check it out and ‘Rescue’ some of your time, if you want, otherwise just be aware of where it went!

  • oh, man! i really don't wanna know... but morbid curiosity will probably force me to find out...
  • oh god, I really just don't want to know... hahaha..
  • :P do it jkim!
    approach it as a self-exploration adventure.
  • Ugh, I wouldn't even want to know.

    I feel guilty enough as it is!
  • haha, that was my initial reaction...

    it took me hours to decide to finally install the application and just face it. =S

    i'm scared but at the same time excited to find out the results sometime later in the week or in a couple of weeks.

  • nice...
    i definitely spend more time in other things like, mail, ichat, browsing the internet, etc.
    i'll look at how much time i actually spend in these things at the end of the week.
