Instant Boss |
||
| Based on Merlin Mann's concept, this freeware application will help procrastinators, the easily distracted, people with a long list of very short tasks and people having trouble chipping away at very large tasks. Instant Boss will time your work/break cycles, reminding you when to work and when to take a break. The defaults are 10 minutes of work, 2 minutes of break time and then repeat 5 times for a total of 1 hour. These values can be changed to suit your needs. |
