WORK WORK WORK TIMER CODE
* Code a work-break timer, based on the (10+2)*5 procrastination hack, to help people "Get IT Done". Hopefully, it includes all appropriate acknowledgments.Īdditionally, thanks to Lexikos and Sean for the alpha blending techniques. Two AHK forum posts were instrumental for much of the code written.
If weakness/bugs in the coding exists, it' probably integration hacks I did to his code! I may have hatched the idea, but Tic deserves all programming credit. Tic re-wrote the code for everything I was trying to accomplish. Both those who wrote the scripts I hacked and those who answered my requests for help when stuck. FYI, if it weren't for David Allen, and his landmark book "Getting Things Done" (GTD), I doubt this script ever would have happened.Ĭredit for this script goes to many people on the AHK forum.
WORK WORK WORK TIMER FREE
If you've got a free moment, please let me know what you think of this script as a productivity tool (e.g does it help you Get Things Done). Thanks to a number of favorable AHK articles by another LifeHacker editor, Adam Pash (check out his Texter AHK script), and obviously without concern for personal brain damage, I decided to try my hand at writing some AHK scripts to do what Instant Boss does and more. It's a nice application but didn't do everything I needed.
WORK WORK WORK TIMER WINDOWS
80% of my work these days is in front of a PC, so I wanted a script to facilitate the use of this methodology while recording my daily activities for future review and/or billing purposes to clients.Ī while back I was reading a LifeHackerpost by Gina Trapani about a free windows work/break timer ( Instant Boss) that supports Merlin Mann's (10+2)*5 procrastination hack. Post back if you have other questions.NOTICE: This script has been updated for AHK 1.1+ on at WorkBreakTImer 4.0Įver since I started using a modified version of the (10+2)*5 methodology to stay focused and get stuff done, I've been much more productive with my daily work results. That way it will look and act like a button, but will have whatever text you want on it and will avoid you having to use variables to link the the Start property. If you are hiding the timer for no particular reason other than to avoid having it show with the timer count on it, then consider changing the Text property of the timer to whatever you want. If you are not having users see or click on the timer directly, then you would have to use your own variables to link to the Start property of the timer. If you want to force it to stop, then you can set a variable and use that variable in the Start property of the timer control.ģ) Are there any other ways where I can link the "start" button to the timer other than - UpdateContext()? If the AutoPause property is true on the timer, then it will stop. If it is an "end" button you have, then you can navigate from that button. If it's the timer control itself you want to click on to end, then you need to check the condition of the timer.is it running or done or starting. When you say, "end" button - are you referring to a button you have on your screen, or the timer control itself? When "Off" it will not.Ģ) Is there a way that once the timer has started, the user clicks "end" button, and the timer just stops, and moves on to the next screen? When it is "On", the Timer control will pause when the screen changes. You can change the "Auto Pause" property to "Off" on any timer you don't want to have stop when the screen changes. How can I go about making them all work simultaneously? Hi I would like to add a timer on different screens.
