ADVERTISEMENTS

RescueTime is a web-based time management and analytics tool for information workers who want to be more productive. RescueTime tracks which applications and web sites you use on your computer at any given time and provides easy-to-use web tools to see how you spend your time.

With RescueTime, you can:

• See exactly how you spend your time. No data entry, no effort– Your time gets tracked down to the second without you having to actively track it.
• Instant and easy time-management analytics. Instantly know how much time you’re spending on a particular application (like “Microsoft Word”) or a particular category (like “Communication”).
• Set time management goals (daily or weekly) and receive notification when you meet (or fail to meet) your goals.
• See how you compare to other people in your industry.

RescueTime also allows you to set goals for how you spend your time and can provide automated alerts to let you know how you are tracking towards your goals.

“We feel that the knowledge of how you spend your time will make you more productive and will nudge you in the direction of spending your time more deliberately and thoughtfully”. said Tony Wright from RescueTime. This is absolutely right, by knowing how you waste your time will make you more productive. This will be a great tool to manage your time.

The RescueTime data collector is be available for the Mac and Windows. RescueTime Beta will be launch in May. I’m eagerly waiting for it.
