Time management is mostly about energy management. If we increase our energy, we increase our productivity. So one of the things I work on is increasing my energy.

Time management is governed by to-do lists, then you’ll be interested in the weekly objectives list. Think of the weekly objectives list as a muscle-bound to-do list. In essence, the weekly objective list is a to-do list with additional features to further decompose tasks into smaller units and to record time estimates for the task.

Are you on v0.21? I know there are a few Linux issues that need sorting; but that’s the first time I’ve heard of those bugs affecting the current release.

Perhaps you could drop me an email? (andy@productivefirefox.com) And I’ll try & get it sorted for you (and anyone else that is affected!).

@Steve,

We have no current plans for IE support; but if the popularity grows on Firefox we’ll look at porting it over!

However, I have been successfully using a freeware program called Temptation Blocker, which simply blocks easy access to certain programs for a user-specified period of time (minutes or hours). Should you need to utilize the program after turning on the timer, you can enter a 32 digit random key. The only issue I’ve found is that, in my case, since I’m turning off access to Internet Explorer, I also cannot access Citrix and other web-based programs. Perhaps someone can improve upon the software so that you can block user-specified websites. Here is a link to the program on Sourceforge.

@leonid – I can see how hopeless you are :D since you’re spending more time tinkering with the options of anti-procrastination software and posting bug reports :D (I feel for you!)

But the implementation needs some work. I’ve installed it and have to say that it’s very buggy. I can’t edit groups (add/rename/delete). Adding sites to groups doesn’t always work. Settings aren’t saved at all. And I even had Firefox crashing on me twice these morning (which rarely happened before I installed the extension).

I hope some work will be done in fixing these nuances, because this is really something I’d love to use. This is my last hope in fighting procrastination :)
