Hopefully, it includes all appropriate acknowledgments.Īdditionally, thanks to Lexikos and Sean for the alpha blending techniques. Two AHK forum posts were instrumental for much of the code written. If weakness/bugs in the coding exists, it' probably integration hacks I did to his code! I may have hatched the idea, but Tic deserves all programming credit. ![]() Tic re-wrote the code for everything I was trying to accomplish. Both those who wrote the scripts I hacked and those who answered my requests for help when stuck. FYI, if it weren't for David Allen, and his landmark book "Getting Things Done" (GTD), I doubt this script ever would have happened.Ĭredit for this script goes to many people on the AHK forum. If you've got a free moment, please let me know what you think of this script as a productivity tool (e.g does it help you Get Things Done). ![]() Thanks to a number of favorable AHK articles by another LifeHacker editor, Adam Pash (check out his Texter AHK script), and obviously without concern for personal brain damage, I decided to try my hand at writing some AHK scripts to do what Instant Boss does and more. It's a nice application but didn't do everything I needed. 80% of my work these days is in front of a PC, so I wanted a script to facilitate the use of this methodology while recording my daily activities for future review and/or billing purposes to clients.Ī while back I was reading a LifeHackerpost by Gina Trapani about a free windows work/break timer ( Instant Boss) that supports Merlin Mann's (10+2)*5 procrastination hack. NOTICE: This script has been updated for AHK 1.1+ on at WorkBreakTImer 4.0Įver since I started using a modified version of the (10+2)*5 methodology to stay focused and get stuff done, I've been much more productive with my daily work results.
