We have been featured in lifehacker (!).

We submitted the interruptron to the Getting organized experiment (GOE 2007) at donationcoder.com, and lifehacker has featured us together with the rest of the participants. Great to hear that there’s some interest in the lifehacking community.

This, as many projects, started as myself trying to solve my own problem: Where did my day go? Why don’t I get more done? How long can I work in a state of flow without before an interruption pops out?

After frenetic activity, you look back at your day and it doesn’t look like you accomplished much. I also felt I was being interrupted too much for my own good,… and sometimes, the sources of those interruptions was myself, checking mail, browsing websites ‘to rest’ (and not coming back to my main task for over 20 minutes when It was supposed to be a 3 minutes rest), or doing some other unrelated tasks. I really wanted to know how often I’m interrupted, and there wasn’t a tool out there that felt right (which is difficult considering the trillions of productivity-enhancing programs being pitched out there!). So I just designed one myself.

Have a look, go to the interruptron page, and tell me what you think….
