- Instant Boss is another timer, but annoyingly takes window focus at work/break intervals (if you are typing and press Enter or the Space Bar, it will do undesirable things)
Other timings to try: 26/4/16, 48/12/3, 10/2/5
"An issue I have with a snooze button is it involves a bit more than just the "snooze" code as it relates to tracking and recording your tasks. Instead of a snooze button, I went with the options to either restart or reload the script. In effect, the "reload" option can act as snooze button. After reloading, WBT is on "standby" (unless you've set the option to AutoStart)."
Also works well with ToDoList to keep track of how much time you spent on which jobs throughout the day. I don't use this program to keep track, but each day I check it and transfer hours into my own system.
