Do you track time while working?

Question

I often lose track of time while working, especially when I'm deeply focused on a task. To help with this, I've started using time-tracking tools to monitor my progress and ensure that I'm staying on track.

I've found that using a simple timer or stopwatch can be effective in helping me stay focused and manage my time more efficiently. Many apps and software tools are also available that can help with time tracking, such as BeforeSunset.

Do you also lose track of time while working? Have you tried using any time-tracking tools?

In fact, I don't track the time I spend on specific tasks, but instead, I use the Pomodoro feature of the Toggl app. However, the app still processes this data and provides me with a weekly report.

Answer

The Pomodoro timer works pretty well for me. It also has some stats for tasks. https://flowapp.info/

Yes, I use the app to log my time when I arrive, leave, and take breaks at work. This also applies to our human resources. I use an app called Shiftee, which is a popular HR app in South Korea.

I do. Tracking time helps in better understanding how much time you are spending on different tasks, which can then help in prioritizing work and making better use of time. Additionally, it also helps in identifying patterns in your work habits, such as times of day when they are most productive or tasks that tend to take longer than expected.

Yes, I do. Track time for tuning time blocking.
Task management is pointless without time tracking.
