RescueTime is a software that helps increase your productivity by monitoring your activity on the computer and informing you when and how you're being productive or distracted.
The program is basically a small application (3.76MB) that you have to install locally on your computer. Whenever you would like to see statistics about your behavior, you only have to click on the RescueTime’s icon on the task bar and select “Go to Dashboard”. RescueTime continues to work in the background, so it never distracts you while you're working, but you can right-click on its icon for a few functions you'd want to access quickly, like pausing the app or turning on a "get focused" session where the app will block Websites that are deemed to waste your time and distract you from achieving your goals.
