I have to say, RescueTime is so awesome that I find myself looking at it more than I should. I probably should spend more time working and less time checking my RescueTime stats. =)
The title at fastcompany.tv is actually "See How Much Tme You Are Wasting With RescueTime" (with the word "time" misspelled). TME is a psychedelic and I read the title as "See How Much Thiometaescaline You Are Wasting With RescueTime" instead.
"I'd hate to show my boss the reports it has generated" -- Me too, but what if that's a good idea that happens to clash with our established workplace myths? I was thinking about the "measurement software" item on pg's list of things they want to fund, and I think that anything that would enable measurement would cause total chaos in any workplace I've been a part of.
I use Linux at work, and I wish there were a Linux version that I could try out. Sadly, I imagine @webwright & co. would be insane to waste any time writing a desktop client for such a small market. Are there alternatives for Linux?
Like most people, I'm a person with deadlines. RescueTime does a good job at letting me confirm (or deny) how I think I'm spending my time. In other words, RescueTime lets me know when I'm lying to myself.
"See how much time you are wasting by using RescueTime"
(Note: Nothing against RescueTime... just thought it was ironic.)
