Categories are Great
Perhaps I will spend less time tagging and more time looking at your categories.
Are productivity figures still based exclusively on tags?
I would like to use your categories (to save tagging) and let me assign my own productivity to them. Some people think email is productive while others feel it is a time waster.
In the list view i see the -2 to +2 scale for productivity but the changes don't seem to stick.
Also can I suggest categories? I use Yahoo desktop search to manage my mail so I have iit tagged as email since that is 99% of its use. others may call it an office app if they also use it regularly to search for documents. . . thinking out loud here . . . perhaps I cannot impose a global category nor a productivity setting . . . but in my profile I can override some of the default category settings. It still reduces the amount of tagging I need to do.

Inappropriate?I do not like the idea of categories the way it is implemented. First of all, the categories are distracting from the data that I really look at. I want a possibility either to delete this graph with categories from showing on my dashboard, or at least move it to the end of the page so that I will never see them. In my case those categories are simply bogus.
Also, I find breakdown by time of the day more helpful and this what I really liked about rescue time. Now, it is somewhere on the bottom of the page. If various feature will be added (and I do see positive externalities from this), then there should be a control feature for a user to choose which one to show.
Let me emphasize that the idea of categories is great. I do not like the implementation. Particularly the way it misrepresents my data.
Thank you very much.
I’m distracted as I have to scroll down to the real data...

I agree - I think the graphs should be movable and removable. I don't find categories as useful as my own tags.
