Time management – one of the most effective skills you can have in your life and workplace, whether you’re currently working from home, a serviced office kl, a coworking space kl, or even a traditional office. While it’s difficult to take control of how you spend each minute of your day, there are ways you can optimise your time using technology.

In today’s post, we’ve pulled together a list of our favourite time management apps to help with time tracking, task management, focus, team management, and more quite easily. Next thing you know, you’ll be wondering how you ever managed to function all these while without these apps.

Track your work hours with Clockify

One of our favourites on this list has to be Clockify. It’s a completely free time management application that lets you track how much time you spend on different activities, providing data that’s meant to improve your work routine. With the data, you’ll have access to reports indicating how productive you have been within a specific time period as well.

With Clockify, there are two ways you can choose how you want your time tracked, on the Time Tracker page:

• Timer mode: just start the timer once you start working on an activity, and stop it as soon as you’re done.
• Manual mode: enter the time you’ve spent working on an activity manually.
