Bonsai Time Tracker

Bonsai Time Tracker is an add-on for both Google Chrome and the service with the same name, the latter being a platform for freelancers where they can keep track of their projects and used assets as proof of payment. This extension helps track the time you spend on certain parts of the task, registering every minute or second of work you put into your freelance project.

When you will launch the extension for the first time, provided you've already created a user account on Bonsai's web page, you will notice how easy to use this application really is. You don't have too many options. All you can do is select the project you want to track from the list of added projects in their database, and continue with tracking the actual time spent on developing it.

If you're worrying that the project you're submitting might be in some way inconvenienced by your time tracking extension, you are wrong. Apart from being quite pretty, the application's interface is easy on resources and not at all naggy. The only element you will probably continue to see is the green start button that allows one to start counting the work minutes.

The amount of help you get from an app like this varies. It depends most specifically on you and how you use it or relate to it. If you turn it on and don't do much work, chances are you weren't going to do much anyway. If you, however, feel that this add-on could potentially stimulate you in being more productive and efficient, then you would have quite a lot to gain from it. Everything depends on your use of it.

The Bonsai extension for Chrome is a blessing for those working as freelancers. It helps them become more organized in their time-tracking and continues to represent a form of feedback that one can give themselves when striving to make a living. Do make sure to check the add-on out if you have the appropriate browser and account.
