Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

Via Lifehacker.com comes a review of RunSaver, a task scheduling program that executes time-consuming jobs on your computer while you're off on a hike or at a barbecue. This program can be custom-scheduled much more flexibly than the Windows Task Scheduler. Use it for backing up, downloading or syncing projects that are too tedious to do while you're actually working.

If you want your computer to be a bit more adventurous in your absence, you can download a program that allows the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program to use your computer for its alien searching work. I think that's a great excuse to get away from your computer for the long weekend. Take a well-deserved break, and forward a noble scientific cause.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!
