Losing Track of Time?

If you’ve ever had trouble keeping track of time – or are just curious about exactly what do for those many hours that just seem to disappear when you sit down at the computer, check out Rescue Time. I’ve been using it to help with time tracking (which we advocate here at Design Commission).

It runs in the background on your machine (it’s really “low-overhead” so it doesn’t seem to slow down your computer at all) and logs your open applications and windows. This way you can go back and see how you spent your time for those “rare” occasions you forget to log your time.

Plus, it’s free! (for now). I’d love if it pushed data into Harvest (our choice for time-tracking, and one fantastic product!) so I didn’t have to do the reconciling, but a small price to pay for a second brain.
