Now here is a really really useful software program. A program that acts like a computer alarm block alerting you to things that you need to do. I have a very hard time sometimes tearing myself away from the computer and tend to run over on things. Especially now that I’m working more and spending as much as 15 hours a day in front of this computer. I often find that I forget to exercise and don’t get outside in time to work on the house like I would like to do. It sometimes feels like this work is taking over my life. I guess we all feel that way about our jobs sometimes.

I wonder if this program would help my daughter get up a little bit easier. I’m often up until midnight, once again working, and she has to meet the bus at the top of the hill by 7am. I simply can’t get up early enough to make sure that she does that so she is on her own for the most part. She is not a morning person either and doesn’t always make it. This morning I discovered that she had her clock set at 6:45 am. She is 10 years old and isn’t at a stage where she puts a lot of effort into her appearance so she will throw on her clothes and just dash right out of the house, often without brushing her teeth or washing her face either. I guess were going to have to have a little talk when she gets home this afternoon about that.

The program is called Atomic Alarm Clock and it alerts you to important events with different kinds of alarms and replaces your Windows tray clock using different skins. I like to play around with different skins on my desktop. There are over 130 skins are included in the distribution. Theres also a free 60 day free trial download so I would definitly take advantage of that 60 day free trial.
