I've started using RescueTime which tells me I spend too much time reading news and blogs, and only 72% of my computer (waking, basically) hours are spent writing ruby on rails code. In an effort to become more efficient (80% would be nice, leaving time to insta-netflix a Law and Order) I caught up with 2002 and set up Google reader. It is awesome, and by awesome I mean totally sweet if you are like me and you have 10+ sites that you read every day. You never miss a headline, and you can skim through them, open the ones you're interested in, and wipe the slate clean. Best part- it runs in iGoogle, so I pretty much never have to leave my home page for anything. If RescueTime can't make me superhumanly productive there's always this girl to watch me like a hawk.
