Caution. Behind tools like Rescuetime is the idea that our work can be boiled down to time and motion studies. In software, there isn't a strong relationship between time spent and the value created. Much of our best work is conceived or discovered when we're not writing code, often not even thinking about code, but dreaming or distracting ourselves. It is a generally highly creative field and where it isn't creative it is of low value.
