    All the apps that I have looked at the time management just end up taking too much time to use!

    All I need is Evernote for time management. I use this to apply the Getting Things Done system and it works like a dream.

    Because I have it on tablet and smart phone as well as my desktop computer I always have Evernote at hand. So I don't need any other app.

    I tried loads of different software and apps over the years and none of them have worked as well as using Evernote to apply Getting Things Done.

          I tried any.do for the last two weeks, bh, and it had a sweet reminder chime each morning for me, but it's easier just to use Evernote - as long as you tag every To Do you create with a "priority" tag, which = Now, Next, Soon, Later or Sometime. Then you keep those all in a Notebook called To-Do, and everything else in another one called Filing. Then you have Evernote with you everywhere: desktop, smartphone, tablet.

          Yeah - but surely that's overkill for most people, frettcarla? That solution is used by Fedex, Xerox and Motorola (isn't that Microsoft now?) For we IMers - one-man bands, or pretty much so - that stuff's just bloatware isn't it?

          Keep It Sure and Simple (or the ruder version :| )

          That's cool, maybe, if you are talking to 50 or 60 colleagues worldwide: not not for managing your own projects, or chatting to a few outsourcers (Basecamp plus oDesk: brilliant).

          Do you agree that Replicon is more for big companies?

    I'm using Evernote, too. Really a great software for keeping your notes on time.
    On the other note, you can also try using Time Doctor for time tracking, especially if you have projects from a client. Basically, the software works for freelancers who are working from home.

      It gets pretty ironic when trying to download, learn and use the time management apps that wind up taking more time to use them than the whole process is worth.

        I don't think it's as good as using Basecamp - to specify projects and tasks - and oDesk - for outsourcers to logon to, to record their time worked. And my outsourcers like it - one of them even suggested it!
