Tools For Time Management
In this task, you'll find a list of several time management tools.
These tools are ideally going to be helping you with your workflow. Task management apps are generally what will help you deal with the tasks you have-which is a far greater indicator of personal productivity than dealing solely with the time you have. Time management tools are simply designed to help you make sure that you're using your time wisely.
Keep in mind that these are some of the tools I've looked at personally and feel can work for people. I may be missing some, but it is only because I wasn't a fan of them, or simply haven't tried them yet. I also have not listed pricing here as that can change over time. For more resources, including an up-to-date list of tools that you can use, visit the Time Management page on Workflowing.net. New and useful options will be added to the list regularly.
This app will allow you to be very flexible with the time you allow for tasks. That means you can spend one hour on one project and thirty minutes on exercise, for example. Rather than use paper to put down your most important tasks of the day, you can use 30/30's lists to set these up in advance for daily use.
A great way to track how long you have spent over a longer period of time working on particular tasks. This app is a great way to keep tabs on how long you are engaged in deliberate practice.
A simple timer that has pre-determined times ready to go. If you're looking for something that requires no set up and does one thing really well, @Timer is ideal.
Created by Dave Seah, this is a great way to map out your day on paper and keep it both manageable and trackable.
The great thing about Concentrate is that you can go really in-depth about what you want to be able to do on your Mac at any given time. It's what I call a "forced discipline" application, and it sure does the trick-I still use it to this day.
RescueTime gives you a comprehensive analysis of the time you spend on your computer everyday, as well as where you spend it. And all of that goes on in the background so it doesn't require you to enter any data.
