I guess nearly everybody from time to time wonders at the end of the day where did I spend my time today? If like me you spend most of your work time on a computer the above happens more frequently than say for manual workers.
Pretty obvious I guess. If you are a construction worker for instance, you can physically see your work so you do not need anyone or anything to track your time. This is not the case for information workers who cannot measure their work so easily.
Tracking time for information workers is even more important these days due to the internet. While the internet can be credited for simplifying, speeding up, and making possible certain business processes, on the other hand it has to be heavily penalised for millions of hours wasted each year by employees on unproductive activities such as social networking, chatting and emailing jokes.
So at FruitfulTime we designed and developed FruitfulTime ProductivityMeter a software tool that tracks your computer time automatically. FruitfulTime ProductivityMeter is FREE for personal use so you can download it now to start tracking your computer time.
A new year is just around the corner so this is the perfect time to start tracking your computer time. You can only improve what you measure and so if you want to boost your productivity you first need to track and measure the time you spend on your computer activities.
In these hard economic times, being productive and making efficient use of your time can make the difference between being employed or seeking a job.
