macosxhints.com— This tutorial shows you have to setup Quicksilver to display a text message, play a song, go to webpage, etc in a set amount of time. It's a quick way to give yourself a little reminder.

You can time when you want to open apps, play songs, visit webpages, run apple scripts, etc. I have made QS use itunes as an alarm clock and then open a webpage with the days weather. And if you have skype you can program it to make a phone call at a specific time and skip the whole reminder. I love this app.
Yes, the tutorial is crap, but as mottram mentioned, the user "wastemytime", in the comments, seems to save the day.Also, to clarify for those who don't know how to get it working:1) Invoke QS2) Type "." (minus quotes)3) Type your text4) Press Tab5) type "large type" or anything you want to be run for that matter6) Press ctrl-enter7) Choose your action, for example "run after delay"8) Press Tab9) Type your delay (or anything else), for example "15s"

Or you could not be a pompous asshat and just take breaks like the rest of us have been doing for thousands of years.
