The Best Ways to Protect Your Time

How often do we lose time at work to various distractions? Scheduling time in your day to block out all distractions, and sticking to a routine can help you be far more productive. RescueTime is here to help!

Schedule is a native Zapier app you can use for recurring tasks. Trigger an action every day of the month, every day of the week or every single day. You can also select the hour of the day. If you're a developer, this is similar to a crontab, cronjob or cron.
