It’s really hard to stay productive these days. Especially when most of your working hours are spent online. It’s really easy to lose track of your time and get carried away with addictive sites like StumbleUpon, Digg or Facebook. So what can you do about it? 8aweek is a Firefox toolbar that helps your control your browsing activity and hopefully improve it.
First you select the websites that you consider as time killers. Next you set a timer that will count the total daily time spent on those selected websites and alert you as soon as it exceeds the max. allowed time. Alternatively, you can also switch to the block mode and completely block those websites once the daily time exceeds the maximum.
8aweek.com : “The average employee wastes over 8 hours per week, mostly on the Internet. 8aweek helps you reclaim those 8 hours.“
