Time Management Software - GoFuckYourself.com

Does anyone use any kind of time management program? I have a ton of things to do every day and I think maybe having a program to manage my daily tasks and track my time would help me get things done in a timely manner. If you know of anything, I would greatly appreciate a recommendation.

MS Project has some decent time management tools built in

do a quick search on www.download.com

maybe overkill if you work by yourself

but has worked good in our team development environment

There are plenty out there.. I cant think of any free ones off the top of my head though.

Try This

Palm Desktop Software is free and it kicks ass

I discovered it a few years back when I bought a Palm Pilot.
I don't use it anymore but I still use the Palm software on
my desktop - works great.

Good stuff, that's pretty close to what I am looking for. I'd really like to set up a length for a task instead of a set time to begin. Like
1 hour - Update sites.
4 hours - X project.
2 hours - Y project.
and then alert me when I have spent the allotted time for the task for the day.

Can it do that by any chance?

i know this sounds weird but I use an egg timer..otherwise I get lost in one task and never do anything else.

I think I may have found a solution. I found TraxTime at
http://www.spudcity.com/traxtime/traxtime.htm

It lets you enter a list of tasks and punch in and out of the individual tasks and tracks the time spent on each one.

I already use TrayClip from http://www.chtsoft.com which has a built in countdown timer (as well as keeping multiple items in your clipboard, check it out if you copy & paste a lot).

The combo of the two programs will suit me for now. It isn't the ideal solution but it's the best I have been able to come up with.

We at Codepushers.com are working on a bran new Time Management System, which among other things will include features to interact directly with desktop programs like photoshop or other programs - to give more precise time schedules and more.

Coming soon on Codepushers.com

It doesn't even need to be that sophisticated. Just write something to allow me to

-Set a task to be done daily, only weekdays, once, or a given date range.
-Track time spent on tasks so I can accurately bill clients (punch in/out).
-Alert me when I have spent the allotted time on a given task.

It doesn't need anything fancy like graphing functions, etc.

Its gonna be fully customizable so you can choose what functionalities you want.

Any suggestions are welcome here
