Bolster and Track Your Productivity with Work Break Timer
Posted by Adam Pash at 6:00 AM on December 28, 2007
Windows only: Freeware application Work Break Timer, Task Logger, ScreenCapture (that's a mouthful that could use some abridging) tracks your work and schedules breaks in user-definable chunks, records task info to keep track of how you're spending your time, and takes screenshots of your desktop on a regular user-defined interval. The concept grew from previously mentioned Instant Boss and productivity guru Merlin Mann's (10+2)*5 procrastination hack but adds tons of useful new features and useful functionality—like passing your task info into the author's favorite time management app and displaying a slideshow of your day's activities with previously mentioned IrfanView. Work Break Timer, etc. is free, Windows only.

My boss asks me every week what I've completed and I generally don't have an answer for her. This program would go a long way to help solve that issue. Any clue what it would take to accomplish all of these tools in one balled-up Mac package?

it would be awesome to add Temptation Blocker to the mix:
[sourceforge.net]
The code is available, it blocks programs (yes, Firefox, IE...) though it's been abandonned and a major flaw is that it does not stop the programs being laucnched from within Word, say, by clicking a link...
