Data-entry functionality ?
I understand and appreciate the value of RT's freedom from data entry - the problem with time managment tools I have looked at to date is that they take too much time !
While RT cures that ailment, it might be nice to have some functionality that allows RT to function somewhere in-between the two extremes:
e..g. On some user-defined interval, rescuetime pops up and asks users to allocate the various chunks of time that it has recorded since the last pop-up. The existing tags could be used as defaults, but user could push the individual chunks of time to other tags. I'm thinking something easy like drag and drop of indvidual time chunks from the task list to the tag list ( or vice versa). If all of the defaults are OK , then there is nothing to do and user could just confirm and close it.The intra-day pop-up theoretically saves people from having to try to remember a lof of details for too long throughout the day.
I'm thinking of a case where I get in and out of excel 3 times in a hour or perhaps hits on a frequently used site like Google. Rather than have total time dumped into the same tag e.g. "work", I could see each block of time and push each chunk to the tag I want it to go. If i wasn't sure, it could all just go to "work" , but if I knew for sure that some of it was "personal" I could re-tag one or more of the time blocks on the fly. Obviously there would potentially be a lot of granular data to track for this (or then again maybe you are saving it already).
Thanks
