“One of my favorite programs that we didn't make is Rescue Time. It runs in the corner of my computer and tracks how much time I spend on different things. I realized that even though I was doing e-mail only a couple of minutes at a time, it was adding up to a couple of hours a day. So I'm trying to reduce that.” TryingDifferentRunningHoursMinutesCoupleComputerProgramMy FavoriteTrackCornersI RealizedDifferent ThingsMailRescue Author:Matt Mullenweg

“The work saved me. I clung to it like flotsam in a boiling sea. It was the only solitary sport that I ever played, or was any good at. It felt natural to sit at my computer and type and type some more. For entire minutes, while writing, I could forget the godawful thing that had happened. I could forget that nothing really mattered anymore. Perhaps, if I set my sights low, I could care again about some small thing. I would type a word. One word. Then another. I started to care about the words, then entire sentences.” IfsWritingCareFeltSportsNaturalForgetHappenedSeaMinutesTypeComputerLowsSightSentencesSavedSolitarySmall ThingsOne WordBoilingFlotsam Book:Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming: A Memoir Source: Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming: A Memoir

“Whatever job I had, I was always writing like crazy. All I ever liked about offices was being able to type up stories on the computer when no one was looking.
