Real time equivalent for Rescuetime time
I am a researcher that can more or less decide my own schedule.
To assure I am not being lazy I put the goal of working 8 hours/day.
I have soon discovered that 8hours/day will be too strict if you really meant to work no more than 8 hours/day.
Whenever you read something more than one minute without interaction ( for instance trying to figure out what an equation means) or go to the bathroom 3 minutes, etc will not count as working hours.
Anyone has any rule of the thumb for how many hours should be the equivalent for 8hours/day

Inappropriate?I've found that if I can do stuff that I categorize as "work" for 6 hours in a day, that's a good day. 8 hours is a GREAT day. But I'm certainly in startup mode, so I'm probably not entirely being healthy. ;-)
We've found that people tend to spend 4-6 hours a day on tasks that are labeled "work"/"productive".
I’m happy

Inappropriate?You have to bear in mind that Rescue Time is only for application/website tracking, so as long as you are actively using programs, i.e. using the mouse or keyboard, it should track everything fine. If you spend a lot of time doing things away from the computer, like doing paperwork etc, then you could try using the 'record offline time' option, or look into some alternative software.
Otherwise, just do a simple comparison between how much work you think you did and what rescue time says, ask yourself what you were doing for the time it reports you idle and draw your own conclusions from there.
Just my thoughts...
I’m musing

Inappropriate?I try to aim for > 4 very productive hours with > 1 efficiency. I am slowly going to upgrade to 5 and maybe 6. I aspire to be as cool as Tony when I grow up :D
I’m kidding
