How Time Tracking Software Made Me More Productive | Blog
Summary
Here is what I learned from tracking my own time for a month, and why I have permanently integrated it into my workflow: There is something about hitting a timer, that makes you really focus on the task at hand. I have found myself, multiple times, veering off my task to chase a stray thought, only to catch myself with a reminder that the timer is ticking. For example, if I set 2 hours for writing this post, I know that I need to stay on task to hit or beat that estimate. Leadership consultant Peter Bregman wrote in a recent article of the Harvard Business Review that compressed time is “the single most life-changing, business-transforming revelation of my last five years” The data shows that constraints are great for creativity, but they also have a measurable impact on productivity. If you are a TeamGantt user, and would like to beta test our new time tracking feature, let support know and they can turn it on for you.
