As a baseline, I need a program that will give me more information than simply being slightly more aware of my actions does. I want something that will give me surprising information I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. This is necessarily non-trivial, especially given my knack for metacognition.
By definition, I can’t really guarantee that information it gives you will be surprising. I can tell you that I consider myself a fairly luminous person and that RescueTime still managed to surprise me.
At any rate: I also don’t think you’re going to get better than RescueTime. It keeps track of everything, does it down to the second, and does it without you having to notice—and it certainly helped me, so there’s one data point.

I see. I’ll have to look into it some time.
