The Focus Master

I discovered this gem by accident a few weeks ago when clicking a link in a Warriors signature - Bryan Zimmerman's. I finally got around to buying it today so thought I'd write a little review.

It's a desktop application where you input tasks you want to complete, and set a timer for each task. At the end of each task, an alarm goes off. You then move onto the next task. For example, your set of tasks might be something like this:-

Write articles - 1 hour
Write list E-Mails - 30 minutes
Submit site to social bookmarking sites - 30 minutes
Keyword research - 1 hour

It adds together all the time spent on all tasks each day and you can even generate a report which tells you what you did, and for how long.

I'm making it sound more basic than it actually is, but after a day of using it, I'm hooked

It has really opened my eyes, and shown me that I'm actually not doing enough. Today I completed 6 tasks, lasting a total of 3 hours and 15 minutes. I need to be doing at least twice that, but without this software I'd think I'd done a large amount of work.

It does exactly what it says on the tin - helps you focus, get the most out of your time, stay organised and set goals. I highly recommend it, and actually wonder why it hasn't made more of a splash amongst us IM's yet

Sounds interesting - how does one become an affiliate partner?

Yes this is theactionmachine.com under a different label. It is a decent product but missing some key features IMHO. I have used it and have it installed on my PC and MAC.

Great program, but I am not able to find the Mac version. Can you point me in the direction as to where I can find it?

Thanks,
