When You Hit the Wall

by Justin Levy on September 1, 2009

How Productive Are You When You’re Online?

by Justin Levy on July 23, 2008

A few months ago I started reading more and more about RescueTime, a tool that could “watch” me throughout the day, track what programs and sites I spend my time on and help me to be more productive.  I installed the program and immediately fell in love with it.  The application runs in the background [...]
