RescueTime
“Where has time gone?” we often ask at the end of a year. Some blame the smartphone. The tool that is supposed to make us more efficient has stolen our time – we spend so much time posting selfies and browsing random content in the digital equivalent of junk food. But this can change if we use phones wisely – which is why we need a time management app such as RescueTime.
RescueTime tracks what you do online and analyses your habits. the records it keeps give you a better picture of exactly how you spend your day – whether you are spending too much time on a site or on a specific task. Once you have detected your work distractions and want to be more efficient, RescueTime can temporarily block your favourite websites.
Poor time management is often because of a lack of self awareness., With the help of RescueTime, you can understand your behavioural patterns and take baby steps to change your habits.
