What is RescueTime?
RescueTime is a web-based time-management tool that allows you to easily understand how you spend your time. You install a program on your computer and we magically track all of your time usage.
I always have a lot of different applications and sites open at any given time. How does RescueTime handle that?
RescueTime doesn’t care which applications you have open, but rather pay attention to which application or site is currently “in focus”. In other words, we’re measuring what’s what you are paying attention to, not what you have open.
What about when I get up from my computer?
How are you going to measure that?
Why would you ever want to do that? Seriously, though RescueTime has an idle timeout that will stop the data collection process if there hasn’t been mouse or keyboard activity for a certain period of time.
How accurate is RescueTime?
We like to say that RescueTime is about 90% accurate. Because of idle detection, RescueTime can sometimes over-report by a few seconds here and there. We’re constantly working to improve accuracy.

Time management is commonly defined as the various means by which people effectively use their time and other closely related resources in order to make the most out of it. It refers to principles and systems that individuals use to make conscious decision about the activities that occupies their time.
However is has been said that you can’t manage time, time just is. So “time management” is a mislabeled problem. What you really manage time is your activity during time.
