Description:
Instant Boss is a small utility designed to help you stay focused on working.
It will time your work/break cycles, reminding you when to work and when to take a break. The deafults are 10 minutes of work, 2 minutes of break, and this is repeated 5 times for a total of 1 hour. These values can be easily changed to suit your needs. Instant Boss will remember the values you used during your last session.
In the statusbar of Instant Boss's interface you can see where in your work cycle you are, followed by how long you have worked this session, followed by how long you have worked since you started using Instant Boss.
Instant Boss will tell you when it is time to take a break. You will have the choice to keep working a little longer, take your break, or skip your break and begin next work period.
- If you decide to keep working, it will count up and add this to your total work time. You can then decide when to take a break by clicking the take a break button.
- If you decide to skip your break, it will begin the next word period in the cycle.
- If you decide to take a break now, it will begin your break period. At the end of your break period, you will be told to get back to work and offered a few choices.
- If you decide to work, the work timer will begin.
- If you decide to take a longer break, it will extend your break by 50%, and remind you again when your time is up, to get back to work.
- If you click cancel, you will have to start work manually by clicking the work button again.
There is a pause button in case you are interrupted by phone calls or other things that need your attention. This can be used during both work or break periods.
For power users, there are command line parameters you can use to preset the values when you run Instant Boss.
This tool is also very simple, small and freeware. It also does not require any installation. Just download it, unzip it and you may run it right away.

Downloadtube.com Editor Final Note:
Definitely not another ordinary timing software. Instant Boss is a software based on a great idea, and it really fills a need and offers something truly useful, despite it's so small and simple.
