I’m super swamped with work. I’m happy about it too and I’m trying to achieve a balance between working and being a wife and a parent by using an online timer. The timer keeps me on my toes and reminds me that I have things to finish so far the past few days my productivity is off the roof.
In fact, I like having a timer so much that I have installed not one but two timers in my browser – the Time Tracker and the Simple Timer. I didn’t know how it worked at first but I’m so glad I got them both because they have their own purpose. You see, the Time Tracker is like an an automatic timer that tracks the amount of time I’ve been browsing. Time Tracker starts whenever I open a browser and pauses when I’m not browsing or if the browser is minimized whenever say when I’m doing my transcription and I have the Microsoft Word instead on my screen. With the help of the Time Tracker I know that as of 2 pm today I’ve been on the internet (read – doing unnecessary things) for a total of 1 hour and 55 minutes. That’s so much improvement already compared to my previous record of like 8 hours! LOL!
As for my second timer – the Simple Timer – I use it when I’m transcribing. I can now track how long it takes me to finish a particular length of audio. Just its presence makes me aware that I have to get my ass moving and finish my work. I’m so happy because the faster I work the more time I have with Z and S.
Anyway, more of the Time Tracker and Simple Timer in my next entry. I would like to tell you more about these two simple time management tools that I have discovered. I hope it can also help you manage your time.
