For those on OS X, there is a very nice application to do just that, it's called Vitamin R[1]. It works by "Time slice"... Add a new time slice (let's say 30 minutes) write your goal, and click "Start". At the end of the time slice you can either start a new task, take a timed break, or an open-ended break. I find it works very well and keeps me motivated... [1] http://www.publicspace.net/Vitamin-R/ http://www.publicspace.net/Vitamin-R/
