mayobrains shared an idea in RescueTime on December 03, 2007 09:37:
Sub-tagging and selective tagging (ideal workflow)One thing that would be a great option is to have a special interactive workflow with RT, like so...
You're in a browser, at a site tagged "work." You open a link from that site, and you can have it set to either "auto tag" or "ask" for a sub tag.
However, there would be times where there might be an exception. I wouldn't mind having a little dialog box constantly telling me what my time is being logged as, where I can tell it hey that's wrong and change it.
Not to mention being able to edit the time myself - both to add and subtract. This would be especially helpful with the idle time gaps that happen while watching movies or the like.
On the matter of sub-tagging - while I use Open Office for work, I use it to work for two different companies. With that dialog box and sub-tags, I could switch who I'm working for at that time with a single click.
And finally, managing the sub-tags. There are definitely some tags which are general umbrellas - work and personal being the biggest umbrella, then I have writing, research, networking, entertainment, and communications etc. Lowest are very specific things like the employers' names and project names.
It would be exceptionally handy to have the graphs understand this, so I could quickly see how long I spent networking for personal projects, and how long networking for my employers, for instance.
Absolutely fantastic app btw =D-

I like the idea of working with other apps to detect what we're doing. I know that's not exactly what you meant, but I will agree less interaction is better.
Maybe integration with Google Calendar? And maybe it wouldn't matter when we edit those times, it will get edited in the RT database. For instance, I may have 9-10am slotted for a webconference, when it ended up going from 9-11am. (Which, by the way, RT ignores since it's "idle" time.)
But I can't know before it happens that it will go on later. Maybe I forget until 3 days later, at which point I edit my Calendar so that RT can be correct. Or you could just make it something where we choose when to sync with iCal.
It would be a quick easy work-around for filling in lost time due to "idle." I spend a great deal of time in web conferencing and watching videos as part of my job, so it's good to know how much time I am doing those things.
(p.s. thanks to the user icons, now I want cake...) -
