I use You, Inc. (Time Management App for Android) personally and professionally.
There are 2 main parts of my app. One is the To Do List part and the other one is the time tracker app. Here's why it's useful for me:
The To Do List Part
- I loosely follow David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology. Although I don't strictly follow it the important take aways is the clearing of the mind from stuff and being able to narrow down our focus to important things right now. If you're not familiar with GTD methodology I highly recommend getting familiar with it.
- My To Do List also has a Calendar part in it where you can put your events. This is separate from the tasks list.
- I can separate my tasks into different categories.
The Time Tracker Part
- Tracks the time I allot professionally as well as personally
- Lets me visualise my allotted time in a day/week/month
- I can categorize my activities and be able to have a larger perspective of where my time went
- I can easily determine when I last did something
- I can place my Time Tracker Widget on my Android Phone's home screen to easily make time tracking a habit
I can tell you exactly when the last time I worked out (2 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days ago) and exactly why that's the case. And it gives me the objective perspective on things and helps me focus on my top most priorities.
I know that on average I am spending 1 hour - 2 hours smoking and that's ok for now because before I used to smoke 2 - 3 hours on average per day.
I know when I was able to reach my target hours working on my own project for this week and make up for the hours or loosen up the next week.
I have my eyes set forward to my goals. Knowing exactly where I am and what direction I am now and how I got here.
