Do any of you use time management software to track productivity?

5 replies
I'm currently using the RescueTime firefox plugin. It is the only one that tracks the actual web pages you spend time on. Works really well but I'm just wondering what other people are using.

    One thing you could also do (if you're disciplined enough) is to just open up a browser tab with a web-based timer (something like Online Stopwatch ) and break your time up into productive 1-hour (or longer/shorter) chunks where you do nothing but work on your business.

      I use an actual timer sitting on my desk to stay focused on the task at hand. I also have a written system I use, but its not yet available online.

        For people who don't have a physical timer, the web-based one works just as well while you're at your computer.

  • I break down into hour chunks with a timer on my desk no fancy software for me as I just find it to be another distraction. The Rescue Time plugin is supposed to be really good though. I just haven't found the need for it yet!

    I actually have an article on time management on my blog if you fancy a short read. Leave some comments if you think you can add to it or if you want to know more from me!

    Time management is a major sticking point for a lot of people in business, I know it was for me for a very long time!!

    I'm glad I have a working system now though, I am just so much more productive!

    anyway have a look at my post and see what is missing!

      I took Simpleology's free course, and use the free software tools they provide. It isn't really traditional time management software, but it has really boosted my productivity.
