Time tracking without billing

[fadecomic]

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you savvy Macophiles might help me find some software. I'm looking for good time tracking software that doesn't necessarily have all of that billing and invoicing stuff added in.

Why, you ask? Because I'm trying to monitor myself to reduce procrastination. What I'd like to be able to do is have a list of projects corresponding to both the positive and negative time sinks in my work day. Then, I'd like to be able to hit a "go" or "stop" button for each when appropriate. I'd like something in the vein of Slife, but for more than just software.

I suppose I could just fire up Numbers or Excel, but I'm hoping there's something a bit more sophisticated.

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried the time tracking program OfficeTime? It does invoicing but focuses on the actual time tracking particularly if you, like me, switch between tasks frequently. It also watches for when you've been away and allows you to assign that "idle" time to a task.

It gets good reviews on places like Macupdate. See http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16795/officetime-time-&-expense-tracking

Concentrate might work for you?

Try http://www.taskcoach.org/ I use it at work on a non Mac based machine, but they have a Mac native app.

I use Kronox. It's not great at printing, but it keeps track of project times pretty well and is easy to switch between them.

I can't help but think that this thread and the idea to use a timer is procrastination itself
