RescueTime is a web app and personal challenge to help you become more productive. The app will record your own electronic productivity and time management data to provide focused lessons and exercises so that you can learn what you are spending time on and how to instead, spend time being more productive. There are also ways to log offline work. A small application is installed on your computer that tracks the websites and software that are actually being used throughout the day. At the end of the day, you receive a detailed report of how your day was spent, allowing you to better understand your daily habits so that you can maximize productivity.
