If you don't track your time, I suggest you do. Knowing there's a record of what I'm _really_ doing each day pushes/inspires me to make that record a good one.

I started out using Harvest, but since I'm less interested in 'what project(s) did I work on today' and more interested in 'how productive was I today?', I've switched to RescueTime.
RescueTime isn't new (YC 08) but they do have an updated interface, so it feels much better than the first time I played with it years back.
Pro-tip: I created a Fluid ssb pointed at my RescueTime dashboard that I then pinned to my menubar, so I can check my stats anytime. Here's the icon that makes it look good: http://bit.ly/1bhewsA http://bit.ly/1bhewsA

- Baadier_Sydow 13y agoI use a combination of Rescue Time, Asana and Harvest to track things. Probably overkill to use both Rescue Time and Harvest but I find that Rescue Time tracks some of things I don't when using Harvest(which I use for client reporting).
- GFischer 13y agoI use a similar program called ManicTime (don't remember the reason RescueTime wasn't an option for me at the time). It's a great way to know what you're wasting time on.
