I like the custom report/tracking features. I've found that spending 15 minutes at the beginning of each day and writing down a list of the things I want to get done that day. I do this before I open email or anything else. Then, when I open email, I slot in the things other people need from me around the things I want/need to get done. Seeing the list on paper each day has really been helping me stay focused. Hey Sam,

So far i am happy about the reports and I found it is a good way of keeping me reminded that I have to focus. As a young entrepreneur working mostly from home this helps. Some other non internet methods I use is creating strict promise to myself that I will go for 1 hour walk every evening to break away from internet, some time off for cooking etc. However my target is yet to be achieved (work pure 6 hours/day, strictly work - nothing else, then take as much as time for personal life). Are you using paid version of Rescue Time? Hi John,

So, if Facebook were your job, you could mark facebook as being Very Productive, so your results would be more inline with what you are supposed to be doing.

I'd love to do exactly that but my situation, the very nature of my job, skews the results. But the idea is the same: identify those things that are productive and not productive and pay attention to the time spent. My job involves time-wasters. Seriously. So a report saying that I spent all day screwing around on tumblr and therefore wasted time is mostly incorrect -- that WAS my task for the day. On the other hand IM is no longer business critical to me and that IS a time waster. Either way, the idea is outstanding. I'll see what I can do with that. Hey John, that’s fantastic.

I'm a bit afraid to see what I really do when I'm at my desk. I suspect that I'm much like you, although I try to minimize IM and email with varying degrees of success. Interesting stats, John!
