I love tools that help me be more productive or more self aware (especially where Time Management is concerned).

What it is. (from Rescuetime.com):

Personal time management software. Get the focus you need to get things done!

Features. (also from Rescuetime.com):

- Automagical app & site tracking (with no data entry!)
- Beautiful time & attention reports for managers only
– goals, alerts, and blocking

I discovered them a few months back. It’s been a fantastic way to introduce a feedback loop into my work that allows me to see where I’m wasting time, when I’m most productive, and when I’m somewhere in between. For example, I’ve learned I have a bad habit of checking facebook, email, and twitter throughout the day. Using their blocking feature, I am able to block those services whilst in delivery mode.

Their interface is smooth. Their widget works fine. I’m pretty happy with their service..
