Productivity hacks
Breaking promises again
I was worried earlier about gaining too much productivity if I cut down on distractions and start to manage my time better. Luckily, there's suddenly quite a lot of work around. Actually so much, that I'll have to concentrate to get everything done in time and well.
In the beginning of Hacked Man I promised that I . . .
HabitRPG vs. Beeminder
Square off
When checking Beeminder and thinking up of adding some new goal, I bumped into something called HabitRPG. Beeminder and HabitRGP had been connected to each other and now you could beemind your habitrpging.

Learning to use a tool
I promised to plan a proper routine for learning to use Timely to track my time. I don't know if Timely is the best possible time management app (as I tried just a few), but it seems to do what I want and is obviously a quality service. At least it will give me a chance to try managing my time properly and see if time management in . . .
