Timenaut

Procrastination is probably the main reason why you are having a hard time finishing your projects before the estimated deadline. Once you have identified the reason and you are willing to do something about it, you can try Timenaut.

The main function of Timenaut is to keep an eye on your activity and to create a straightforward graph with all the programs you use throughout the day.

Arguably the best feature of this utility is that it does not require any interaction with the user - in other words, even those with very little computer skills can still benefit from its feature-set. Moreover, you can set it to run at Windows startup, so you do not need to manually launch it every time you start working.

Rather than rely on its capabilities to determine which of the apps you run are useful and which are not, it is up to you to mark the work-related ones, along with the educational or the entertainment ones.

As soon as you complete this step, Timenaut automatically tracks your habits and creates an extremely intuitive diagram where you can view how much time you spent using each software solution. You can also view the percentage for each category, so if you notice that you were too absorbed by leisure-oriented programs, you know that you should refrain from using them in the future.

On the downside, you cannot export the generated graphs as standalone images so as to store them on your PC or share them with other people.

In a nutshell, due to Timenaut, you can become more productive and focused on your work by getting a clear picture of the software that attracts you during your day. If you really want to become more efficient, than you should make a serious effort and steer clear of the entertainment-related apps and you should notice a boost in performance in no time.
