Time is money. That’s especially true if you work from home. You’re often required to submit detailed time sheets. But any profession can benefit from effective time management.
It can be hard to gauge your own productivity. These programs will track your time. You’ll see how much you’re getting done. And you can see where you need to improve.
Klok – This Adobe Air application manages multiple projects. Tag specific projects with contact information and comments. Split each into subprojects. Then, tell Klok what you’re working on. It will automatically log your time on a calendar. Export weekly time sheets with a touch of a button.
ManicTime – This program will tell you exactly where your time goes. It tracks every application you use. You’ll see what you were using, when and for how long. It will also track every Web page you visit. You can tag logs with project titles or other information. Detailed reports show you how you use your time.
RescueTime – This program is a little like ManicTime. It logs programs and browsing. But it will ruthlessly calculate how productive you are. And it will show you where you’re wasting time. Use its Get Focused feature to block distracting browsing.
