Haha if I didn't like answering questions about MTurk I've made some real poor decisions in life but luckily like 7 people are faster than me anyway :ROFL:

I think it needed a 100 but it was the 18th so probably a dead HIT anyway :p

Serious question, but Jerami @Jerami do you count bathroom breaks when you're using that app? Like, if you have to go potty, are you like "gotta wait for my 5 min break!" or...? I feel like that would be silly but also I'm VERY EASILY DISTRACTED.

You know, it's really up to you. I mean, idk. I've gotten up in the middle of a 25 but, it's rare and usually only after I worked over. But, if you gotta pee, or whatever, hit 'Skip Break' and it will wait until you start it again or you can stop there. But, I think one of my problems is that if I gotta pee, I'll get right up, or I need a drink, or I should probably eat something before I get too deep into work and, may as well watch a video while I'm eating. Done eating? Just gotta finish this video. Then I gotta pee again a little before I start and I should probably grab a drink...etc. So, if I gotta pee, I look at it and say, "I can wait 8minutes to get up and, if I'm forcing myself to sit here for 8 minutes, they're going to be productive!" So, that's how it helps me. I think the Readme says it all...
Now here's a few things you should know before downloading:


- This is not an organizer. If you can't keep track of what you're supposed to be doing, this app is not for you. The app includes tracking of projects so you know how much time you spent working on each of your clients/books/websites/whatever - like a time sheet, but it's not meant to be an organizer or a to-do list.

- This app is in English only. No translations are planned for the foreseeable future.

- This app will not let you pause work sessions or finish them early, so if you have a tiny baby-sized bladder and you need to pause every few minutes, this app is not for you. The shortest work session you can set is 10 minutes and you're not supposed to be interrupted. Also because I use this app too, and I'd be the first to abuse that pause feature to go look up useless nonsense instead of getting work done.

- The purpose of this app is not to promote a healthy work-life balance, but to get you to work harder. Because of this, it does not recognize weekends or holidays or parenting or any other excuse to take time off, and it will demote you if you start slipping. Please don't expect the app to validate your goals, its sole purpose is to make you work harder, even when you shouldn't.

I can appreciate this.:)

Thanks! Yeah that's what I was thinking. My brain will use anything for an excuse. Gotta pee, might as well play with the cat/get on reddit/spend an hour in the bathroom b/c it's warmer than the rest of the apt. I'll flub with it and see what works, easier to keep track of it on my phone than having a tab lost on my desktop for sure!

Evening. I want some fucking bruschetta.

If you're into bruschetta, growing basil in a simple hydroponics set up will keep you in bruschetta forever and ever. Literally make some on a weekly basis. You don't even need much to get it going! I only figured out I could make bruschetta after my basil plants went so insane I couldn't use it enough in other stuff.
