Do you take notes manually, or track time with tools?
What about the analytics that you receive?
Do you get actionable insights with respect to what you gave?

@david_sipos1 @jakob90lv I feel you lol. not the most tech forward but it works!
@jakob90lv Interesint idea! Are you making a gant, or just a list?
@jakob90lv Don't you think it is time to move on a new tool :D
@david_sipos1 just a list with things i do. So i mark them each day that im doing haha.
I have used Asana and ClickUp. ClickUp is my favourite
@sachin_shaji_kalloothara ParagraphAI needs to be on this list! We launched on PH today and are trending on the home page. Check it out!
@ameliagoodman Which features do you like in it?
@elifduran ok my fav feature is the little unicorn pop up when you complete a task lol. just the right dose of serotonin to keep me goin
@sachin_shaji_kalloothara I did not use ClickUp but have a look at it for sure!
@sachin_shaji_kalloothara I use ClickUp too but sometimes it has some annoying bug
Hey! I've been using Flowace to track time spent on each task. It's very automatized!
@martina_hackbartt I used some auto-trackers but did not hear Flowace before, will take a look at it.
I don't time my tasks, but i do track them on my to-do list in Evernote (old school alert!). I have heard some good things about Centered and Focusmate - haven't used either personally.
@swapdp_01 One of the essential thing is the to-do list and prioritization, agree! I use Notion for it.
Hubstaff works well for me and other members of the team. I would like to check BeforeSunset too.
ParagraphAI saves a ton of time - its the first AI writing assistant on mobile https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I use Notion for keeping track of basically all business organization and then I use ParagraphAI to save time on write ups and tedious writing tasks
Notion! for tracking notes and tasks, especially with braindump.
Having analytics for tasks can be fun though, especially if there's a way to gamify. I usually also use the Eisenhower matrix to categorize tasks.
@melanieyzs I also use Notion for myself and my organization, Notion integration is in our roadmap, can't wait for this!
@melanieyzs Notion is soo good, I love to use it
ClickUp, Notion, and pen and papper

We end up using Monday and adding in a time tracker to that. You can create a dashboard to view across your team what everyone's accomplished.
We use Harvest time tracking in our agency... It's pretty simple but gets the job done and can integrate with Asana, Basecamp etc.
The dream would be to not have time sheets at all and just price based on the value of the output, not hourly rates!
@mark_campbell_outlign Our aim is to create the simplest work management tool that will end up you to work in a healthy environment, and finish the work before sunset :)
We mean, seeing burnout before it is too late, or remind to have a break when you are working hours at the desk.
@elifduran thanks for the reply... I definitely love the goal and we've always aimed to run an agency without the usual crazy overtime expectations placed on staff... so getting out before sunset is our goal too.
Timing app for automatic tracking, Notion for personal life and Airtable for registering hours for customers
For time tracking: Clickup
and recently, for teamwork management: Oppflow
They're both very useful!
@janset_angi I have not heard Oppflow before but definitely check it! For both time and team management tool, recommend you to subscribe BeforeSunset 🚀
Well, I think I am in need a tool for that as I've realized I don't track how much time I spend on a task at all. Subscribed!
@lara_tankal Thanks Lara!
I would say use google sheets because it's free and second you are getting time to act on some tasks like typing the to-dos in the sheets so your productive again
I have used Basecamp and Trello and now I'm using Clickup.
@elifduran it's a pretty big app. the parts I'm loving is how easy it is to manage your tasks and subtasks, you can change status of a group and individual task, you can drag and drop them inside the task group or move it to a different group. I use tasks and documents, and that's about it.
@elifduran totally. everything else does not matter that much to me.
