Simple Time Management: Fall In Love With the Right App

I want to try every time management app there is! Are you like me? Looking for the right one for you? …the one that will stop you from goofing off?

I want that, too, but I’m a little fickle. I find one I love (like this one and this one and this one), then I start to think that some other app could be sweeter. Enter my wandering eye.

Don’t follow in my footsteps, though. You’ll have to spend some quality time with a few apps at first, you know, to get to know them. Make it a fruitful experience and ask yourself these simple questions:

  1. Which is the easiest to use?
  2. Which one’s the most intuitive?
  3. Does it do all (or most) of what you need? *Sidebar: Do you know what you need? 

Ultimately, you’ll have to settle down with the one.

If you choose multiple apps, you’ll probably get confused. Or, worse – you’ll do double duty and have to enter data in several places. Not a good use of your time, right?

So, in my quest to “see what’s out there,” I came across a few articles about good time management apps. Check them out and let me know which one you decide to use. Or, if you’ve already found your true match, I hope you’ll kiss and tell.

    I know the problem – the same thing happens to me. I think I’ve found the best time-managing technique in the world, when I read about a new one. At the moment I’m using Focus Booster, which is based off the Pomedoro technique. 
    Thanks for the post!

    @MikeDrew:disqus Glad to see I’m not the only one who’s fickle. ;) I’ll have to check out Focus Booster, but hope it’s not as rigid as the Pomodoro technique. Thanks for stopping by, Mike. =)
