How to track what RescueTime doesn't record (meetings or movies)

If you're comfortable with using Windows Explorer and Windows Notepad there's a way to log activities like meetings, phone calls, or time spent watching training videos:

1. Goto C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\RescueTime.com\logs\pending. RescueTime records your activities in .yml files. You can open them in Notepad.

2. After looking at one of RescueTime's example yml files, use Notepad and create your own yml file that looks like the following:

---
- os_username: <computer-name>\<username>
app_name: MANUAL_Meeting
window_title: 'Meeting'
extended_info: ''
start_time: <start-time>
end_time: <stop-time>

Of course, fill in your computer-name, username, start-time, and stop-time. The examples already in /pending should help you figure out how to get everything right.

3. Save your new file. The filename must be in the format: rt_<stop-time>.yml. When you press "Send Update Now" in RescueTime (or in about 15 minutes), RescueTime will show the activities on your dashboard and move your file from the /pending to the /uploaded folder.

Adding a manual activity takes 1-2 minutes, and if you know how to write a batch file automating this should be simple. I'm actually wondering why this feature isn't already there. ;)</stop-time></stop-time></start-time></username></computer-name></username>
