This afternoon I downloaded an application the says it will keep track of where I spend time on my computer, and then help me set goals to spend more time on the productive sites, and less on the time waster sites. It is called RescueTime. I am curious how it will handle multi-tasking… right now I am hovering over email to see a status report on a troubling problem we are having at Maricopa. I also have a java applet running that keeps track of my Yahoo league in real-time. So, stir in a little blogging, and it’s a good test of the hardware. I’m wondering how it will factor in that I am watching the Bears and the Steelers, and only typing during commercials. (Or maybe I type during the game and watch the commercials!)

I do think it could be a great tool, to advise that I say I want to write that languishing novel… how many minutes have I actually been in MS Word, as compared to, oh let’s say, FarmTown. I’ll post a report in about a week.
