You'll need to change the categorization in RescueTime itself. For example, Facebook is counted as unproductive time by default on Rescuetime, but if your job requires you to be on Facebook, that might not be the case for you. This is almost always because something is being categorized incorrectly or unexpectedly in RescueTime. Beeminder is fetching weird/wrong values for my time.
RESCUETIME UPDATE
When Beeminder checks for data, we'll look at the last 7 days of RescueTime data and update any datapoints that are out of sync with RescueTime.

Just reply to the legitimacy check and let us know the derailment was not legit and we'll fix it! I edited some Beeminder datapoints and they all got changed back. It can take 15-30 minutes for the data to make its way from your computer to RescueTime's servers, and until it's on Rescuetime's server, Beeminder can't pick it up. This might happen if you're getting the last minutes done immediately before midnight. I was working late and I derailed because my data didn't sync in time. If you think that won't work for you, contact support to let us know why! If necessary, we can change the data used on our side.

Beeminder might derail you at 5pm, but you could technically still keep working after the deadline to sync more data, ruining the point of having the 5pm deadline in the first place! Can I change the sites/activities/categories included after creating my goal? The same applies for pushing the deadline forward. Instead of derailing at midnight, you'll just derail 2 hours later with the same datapoint. Even if Beeminder waits until 2am to call your goal derailed, RescueTime is not going to count the time you spent between midnight and 2am for the previous day.

Can I just change my Beeminder timezone instead? RescueTime's API delivers data in day-level chunks, so we can't slice it up on our end to apply it to different Beeminder days. These goals are available for all RescueTime users, both Lite and Premium.įocusTime sessions are not available right now, but you can use IFTTT to send them to a non-RescueTime-connected Beeminder goal! Why can't I change my deadline from midnight? You can also choose to track a specific category, subcategory, or activity (e.g. You can choose to Do More or Do Less of Productive or Unproductive Time.
