- Track your productivity (http://bit.ly/1iPr8ye) – Chrome extension

- QuickFill (http://bit.ly/Tsrte5) – Handy Clipboard for iPhone and iPad

somebody might have used that, you can try different code

I've been an early adopter of speed reading tools. I have tried to maximize my use of speed reading tools for browsing.But, I travel a lot and I couldn't find any such free app for my iPhone.

Ask HN: Have you tried this productivity hack from John Carmack?

If anybody wants to try this approach to track productive time, I have built a chrome extension exactly for this purpose (couldn't find any tool doing this) - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/track-your-product...

I wrote a simple time tracker (as a chrome extension) for myself. I was using it every day so, I published it on chrome store - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onnkllhiaannegcomg....

Hi Derek, I can't describe how much motivated I feel everytime I read something similar to this. But I just can't convert this motivation into actual practice/habits. Any advice ?

Could someone please explain the reasons behind hating Java? I usually code in Java, C and python and I don't hate any of these three. It would be interesting to know.
