From the New York QS Show&Tell meetup group – Colin Schiller talks about how his productivity changed after having a baby. He experimented with using the Pomodoro Technique and only working eight hours a day. For four weeks, he tracked all the work activities he did in each 25-minute work segment. Watch the video below to see what Colin learned about his maximum productivity and the surprising reaction from his wife.

I’ve been messing around with the pomodoro, or at least my own variation of it, for a week now. I wish I could log my activities via untethered voice dictation. I suspect to maximize the guarantee of using such a thing it would benefit from my being able to voice-activate it.. just mumble something and whatever that is get’s translated to text and then shipped to the PC in perhaps a daily segmented, timestamped file.
Any ideas on the hardware solution to this? It doesn’t have to integrate with telephony and may be preferable not to actually.
