After hours of searching i fixed it in this way:

    old_timestamp == null;

    $('#productivity_table').on('click', function(event) {

    // code executed at first load
    // not working if you press too many clicks, it waits 1 second
    if(old_timestamp == null || old_timestamp + 1000 < event.timeStamp)
    {
         // write the code / slide / fade / whatever
         old_timestamp = event.timeStamp;
    }
    });
