Differentiate internet time and time spent in applications, and help this poor Q&A site.
I like RescueTime but find it frustrating in its inability to differentiate time spent in an application procrastinating and time spent in an application productively.
As an example:
Internet - I spent the last three hours doing meaningful Internet research on too many sites to whitelist, and about an hour procrastinating on blogs, social networks, etc. Yet this is not differentiated, from what I can tell. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Furthermore, my time spent in Excel is some part my own time, some part one project, some part another project. How can I value my time if I cannot differentiate it?
Finally, this getsatisfaction.com is a horrible site for Q&A. I'm sure a lot of people have asked my question, but with no way to search or categorize the questions, it is too burdensome to read through posts!
How much unproductive time was spent trying to find a similar question?!?!

Inappropriate?To search , just go to http://getsatisfaction.com/rescuetime and hit the search box in the right-hand column. Also, when starting to enter a problem, GetSatisfaction usually gives suggestions of related topics if you wait for a few seconds. Here are a couple topics that seem to relate to your request.
The developers seem interested in allowing tagging for different files within an application, but the downside is more data entry on the part of the user. As for automatically differentiating web sites, many sites are automatically categorized. Just assign productivity values to the categories to reap the benefit.
I’m incredulous
