RESCUETIME API FREE

Once you've run RescueTime for a while, maybe a week to a month, things become VERY interesting from a data perspective. They even have a lovely Data API that you can access programmatically and do whatever you like! You can categorize from apps down to websites, as well a ones you want it to ignore. For example, for me, reading CNN.com is not productive, but if you're a journalist, perhaps it is very productive. You can categorize applications with various levels of productivity. It's a little app that runs in the background and keeps track of the application running in the foreground, as well as if you're interacting with it. One of my favorite tools for measuring personal productivity (and making adjustments) is called RescueTime.

The old adage is 'measure twice, cut once.' In the computer age, my new agile adage is ' measure often, cut often.'

These two small and inexpensive (LoseIt is free so far!) measuring devices have enabled me to lose 21 lbs in a short amount of time with minimal effort. I have been dieting of late (I'll do a separate blog post on this soon) using an application called LoseIt and a pedometer/metabolic activity meter called a FitBit. It's this core idea of measure often combined with small adjustments that I believe is the hallmark of success in nearly anything one does. Now that I'm also on a continuous blood sugar meter as well, I am able to measure hundreds of times a day and make small adjustments. I check my blood sugar as often as 10 times a day. I realized that measurement and logging was a theme in my lifestyle, specifically as applied to productivity.ДЄs a Type 1 Diabetic logging and measurement as a precursor to success is not just required, it's darn near mandatory if you to live succeed. I was chatting with a friend recently about my recent diet and she commented that I seemed to measure everything.
