Track your time spent in various apps and websites, down to the minute
PG mentioned having News.yc cut you off automatically, to encourage people to get work done.
I think a stronger solution is simply measuring the amount of time you spend on various sites/programs, and then adjusting your schedule appropriately.
I had mentioned one MyDreamApp application that would have done that, but the application was never finished.
Rescuetime.com is now sending out invitations to their beta, and they look to do exactly what I had described- Track the time you spend. Everywhere.
I have no association to the site, but it might be worth checking out for busy News.YCers trying to get a handle on their schedule

- bkmrkr 19y agocould i get an invite code? bkmrkr at yahoo.com Thanks
- e1ven 19y agoSorry, I have no association with the site. You can apply on the site, though.
- scylla 19y agoIs this a YC company? I'm always nervous about installing software on my personal computer. What's the assurance that this isn't a keylogger or that they are reporting all the data they collect back to their servers?
- pg 19y agoI know these guys and they're legit.
- Zak 19y agoIf I spent any significant time using Mac OS or Windows, that might be useful to me.
- r7000 19y agoJust got an invite code today. Thanks! I am up and running. It looks very well-executed.
- imsteve 19y agoAm I the only one that's actually too afraid to want to know?
- ptn 19y agoYou are not alone mate.
- pchristensen 19y agoI'm so terrified I didn't even click through
- ed 19y agoI installed the beta this afternoon and so far it's told me exactly what I knew already: I spend too much time on this site. Noprocrast is handy, but simply being kicked off the web isn't enough. What I /really/ need is a program threatening to format my disk if I'm not productive.
- nostrademons 19y agoI also installed the beta this afternoon and it told me something pleasantly surprising: I spent about 95% of the 2 hours on my computer working. "VMWare Player" is basically the only bar that's visible. Noprocrast is great. I'm sure that if I'd received the beta invitation yesterday, it would've shown me wasting hours here.
