Quick Start

Getting started with Vitamin-R is simple: define an objective, decide on a duration, hit “Start Time Slice”, work towards your objective until the time has run out. Then log your time slice and take a timed break. Rinse and repeat.

In between, check up on how you are doing and learn something about how you work best.

Define Objective

What is it you want to accomplish right now? Be specific and realistic to create an objective that can easily be accomplished within the timeframe you have in mind.

Define Duration

Drag the slider to specify the amount of time you plan to invest in accomplishing the objective you have defined. Again, be realistic. The goal is to get going. See Time Slice Duration for more information.

Evaluate Your Performance

When a time slice ends, you have the opportunity to add some useful information to the logs Vitamin-R creates automatically for each time slice. You may rate your focus level and mark the objective as completed. Vitamin-R logs contain the following information, stored as a Rich Text Format file: Objective, tags, time-frame, duration, completion status, and concentration level. See Productivity Logging & Analysis for more information.
