Time Is Money: Why You Need to Measure Hours and Outcomes

  • March 21, 2018

Most salespeople and managers tend to measure their performance and success based on a single metric: sales. And for the most part, this is a solid strategy; by focusing on the bottom-line results, you can eliminate secondary variables that may or may not influence your bottom line. For example, it might not matter that your top salesman is chronically late if he’s still finalizing the largest dollar amount of sales for your organization.

TimeAndTracking.com – Track Time Worked

  • March 25, 2012

TimeAndTracking.comWhether you hold an important position at a large company or if you work as a freelancer, you can count on Timeandtracking.com to track the time spent on your projects. This service lets you keep track of all your tasks, and monitor the time it takes to perform them. In this way, you (and all the members of your team) will never have to worry about filling time charts again. This software will do it for you. And as a result, you will all be able to focus on your work with less distractions.

The advantages of a software like Timeandtracking.com are that you will know accurately, objectively and automatically the time it took to perform each task in any project. Relying on your own memory (or your team members’ memory) has the risk of the real time worked not being registered. Not because someone wants to lie about what he is doing, but simply because humans can’t remember everything perfectly all the time, except maybe on some science fiction story.

Being able to have this information will allow you to charge the right prices to your clients, and eliminate the risk of charging in excess or undercharging. Both are situations to avoid, because charging more than what you really should will make your clients lose trust in you. On the other hand, undercharging will make you earn less money than what you really deserve for your hard work.

The software is for free until march 30th, 2012. After this date, you will be charged some fees which are yet to be announced.

Graphient.com – Track Data In Time

  • September 29, 2011

Graphient.comPresented by Graphient (a software development company headquartered in New York), Timeline is an application that can be used for the tracking of just anything that’s got any kind of timestamp to it. Tweets, images, stock transactions… if it can be contextualized temporally, then it’s something that this application can take care of monitoring on a dynamic visual timeline.

They can likewise layer non-concurrent events for easier comparison. And data can be imported from Excel, mySQL, Delimited Text Files, Twitter, RSS Feeds and HTML tables.

All of the above turns Timebinder into a really great tool for the mapping of temporal information. Timebinder is available for Windows, Appe OSX and Linux. Single user licenses cost the same in all three cases; one will set you back $200. And 5 seat user licenses are available for $800.

GlobalTiming.com – World Time Zone Map

  • September 25, 2011

GlobalTiming.comIn theory, there’s no better site than this one for those of you who have suddenly got to make phone/Skype calls to clients who are located in countries throughout the world. GlobalTiming.com offers a world time zone map that clearly displays the current local time in any place around the globe. This map is featured on the main page, and it lets you know you what time it is anywhere just by placing your mouse cursor over the country in question. Alternatively, you can type its name on the provided bar and get the data you’re after even quicker.

In practice, GlobalTiming.com doesn’t feel that great. The main criticism that can be leveled at the site is that the map itself is not really striking. Far from it, actually – it’s too tiny for its own good, and it looks completely cluttered. Right now, using this site feels anything but comfortable.

Still, that’s not something that can’t be repaired. A simple redesign (emphasizing usability over everything else) should set things to right. When that’s been taken care of, the site should give users what it gives them now (IE, precise timing information) in a friendly, accessible way.
