Hi all,
I’m not thrilled with the change in the way RescueTime categorizes offline activity now. In the olden days, you used to be able to add another activity (if separate from the buttons) and categorize whether it was Very Productive, Productive, Neutral, etc. Now that option (for Add an Activity) is gone, leaving only a textbox to define the activity.
This causes problems. For example, I will add “Presentation” as an “Add an Activity”. I previously defined Presentation as Very Productive (or Focused Work), with a category of Design/Comp-Presentation. Now, it recognizes presentations as “Design/Comp-Presentation” but it categorizes it as “Other Work”.
So the change results in multiple new steps for me:
- Input “Add an Activity”.
- Go to Reports, click on Apps & Websites.
- Find the activity.
- Change it to Focused Work.
This is similar to all my “Add an Activity” activities. Why remove the option to define whether this is Focused Work, Other Work, Neutral, etc?
