Via Marc Pickett I
Here is a cool script that Marc wrote to help improve productivity. It takes a screenshot every minute, so you can view a "timelapse" of your day (or week even). See how much time you spend on wikipedia, email, video games, and writing time management scripts vs. doing actual work.
The video is 6.8 hours crammed into 17 seconds. Marc says he was on the train from Cambridge, so he wasted less time on the internet than normal. So the apparent productivity was'nt perhaps cuz big bother was watching, eh?
But this is a really neat way to summarize how you spent your time during the day. Thanks Marc, for sharing the script and the video with us!
great hack! At this rate, a year telescopes to about six and one half hours of video. If you take out the down time it would probably reduce to three hours of video. your entire computer using life might be a week-long stream of screenshots.

Neat hack, there seems to be a typo in the script, having a space between -t and jpg causes issues. Changed it to: "screencapture -C -m -tjpg -x "
