Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Some individuals in the company used RescueTime to track time spent on tasks other than work. We also use it to recognize things we shouldn't spend so much time dealing with. Despite being just an icon on my taskbar, RescueTime silently maps everything I'm doing, and at the end of the day, it gives me a report indicating how productive I've been.

Pros

  • Understand how I'm spending work time.
  • Maps everything that I do.
  • Easy to deploy and use.

Cons

  • User experience could improve.
  • Price.
  • Need to edit/categorize some activities manually.

Likelihood to Recommend

To understand where you are wasting too much time, and what you have to cut out in order to stop losing attention to what really matters in a day's work. It's a good app to categorize your day-to-day work and report your productivity level, and also how focused you are on what really matters from 9 to 5.
