In one way, you’re right. But I want to “learn” to plan those mind trips and do them with good concious

Thanks for the link.

Well, nice tool review – but I think I would rather live without it…
Think about it: Can a tool like this really make you more productive in the long run? Give place for your mind to wander sometimes, which is where you get all your good ideas and inspiration.

The following article on Wired Magazine has some really good points: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/st_thompson/

Interesting point – if you don’t like your product(s), doesn’t work feel a bit depressing? I don’t think I’ve ever not liked the product I was working on, even if in retrospect I don’t know why I didn’t find it incredibly dull

(Full disclosure – I am a developer on Qlockwork so I am bound to like it)

if you feel you’re bound, you work for the wrong employer

I don’t know – can’t see, how they should work together.

Comment on Updates on what Oslo is and Quadrant not is (September 2009) by Lars Corneliussen

Hi Stephen,

you’re right. Kraig is in charge of the dev center.

But I like M. Most of what I model now is in C#, which I also like, but not for modelling

I think Kraig works for the Oslo team. Seriously. I’ve seen him name associated with the project.

Quadrant as a modeling tool was awesome. As a database entity modeler, eh not so exciting.

M? well that’s about the most useless thing to have come about in a while. no value there.

I like RescueTime, but I mainly use a similar installed tool called Qlockwork (from http://www.workingprogram.com), which is an Outlook add-in. That shows you your interruptions as well as what you did, which is rather handy.

Obviously, websites like Twitter are bad, but I think you tend to underestimate how distracting email is. I’ve found that email interruptions are actually worse for me than looking at Facebook et al. Best changes I made were turning off email notifications and only checking email at set times each day.
