6 Reasons to use Firefox PageAddict plugin

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Firefox Logo

If you wish to (try) to cut on the Browsing related procrastination you should take a look into PageAddict, this little gem does the following:

  1. Track the amount of time you spend actively using Firefox (duh!);
  2. Allows you to create different groups and tag the sites you visit (so you can see where you are wasting most of your time);
  3. Allows you to setup a daily time limit for each group individually or more extreme just block them;
  4. Easily blocks (like said above) sites without having you mess with .hosts file;
  5. Generates History Report and Graph so you can see how much time you are wasting (see below)
  6. Its free, easy to use and pretty useful;

I will be recommending over time, other programs that a long with PageAddict, can help you control and monitor the amount of time you spend on your computer.

Give it a shot and if you dont mind let me know what you think of it ;)

Since I was upgrading Wordpress…

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I’ve decided to drop a post around.

Its pretty scary the amount of security fixes/patches that are required lately, in order to keep Wordpress away from the script-kiddies (and “others”)…

For people that also rely on it, get the latest Wordpress 2.3.3

And while this is quite ironic I’ve decided to after upgrade the blog that is still in “hibernation”, to make….a post :)

I will be making a new post in order to separate things.

It was a long time ago… (September 2007 actually)

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

The idea/purpose/goal of this blog was defined long long time ago, after awhile I finally got my hands into it and though I was going to get the ball rolling…

Guess I was wrong and you cant just tackle and easily beat that bug called – PROCRASTINATION.

At least not as easy has I though by the time I was going to start HAVE L.S.D (which stands for Lots of Stuff to Do).

Its ironic to say the least that a blog whose main topic is Productivity and all about being Proactive has been paused…even before it started.

Nevertheless I guess I will alter a bit my purpose with it and hope that it can still be somewhat helpful for fellow procrastinators, I do intend I mean I will detail my obstacles, findings, tips, research, results, and so on all regarding the main topic that basically means busting your ass and get to do things.

For now I’m just going to list a post that goes directly to the point, properly titled: Do it Fucking Now

Need to act, need to do!
