WorkingHours

Work today isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. Whether you work at the office or from home, rarely is there a day where you sit at the computer and focus only on one single task. Depending on your personality, this can be a good or bad thing. The good part is that it’s harder to get bored during work, while the bad part is that multitasking can be chaotic and confusing.

While anything can be mastered with practice, there are also programs that were especially designed to help you manage all those tasks with greater ease. They are usually categorized as time tracking tools and WorkingHours is one them.

WorkingHours comes off as intuitive, even though it’s a versatile application that will probably require a bit of time to get used to. The graphical interface is nothing fancy, but enables you to quickly navigate it and find the features that you need. In order to establish the tasks that you’re going to track, you must first create work units, which are technically the time frames for your work.

For example, a work unit could be a 9 to 5 day containing multiple tasks or just one or two hours containing one single task. Once you get used to the concept of work units, it will be easy to organize your schedule using this program.

It’s important to remember to pause and resume your tasks whenever you take a break. If you’re paid by the hour, it will also be easy to track how much money you’re making. The application offers you basic analytic tools, and also allows you to export your working units as Excel or CSV documents.

No matter if you’re a freelancer or an office worker, you’re probably going to find WorkingHours really useful if you want to properly monitor the time you spend on your daily tasks.
