Track Your Time with TimePanic for Windows and PocketPC
"TimePanic is an award-winning application for tracking time spent at the computer. If you need to keep track of the work you do and when you do it, and want to stay on top of tracking projects or your business, then TimePanic is the ideal solution. Improve your efficiency at work. Keep on top of all your projects. Keep an overview of all your priorities. See where the time is going in your day. See which projects/clients consume the most time... and more."
For anyone in the service industry working on multiple projects or anyone in a situation where exact time needs to be metered for various efforts, this could be a winning solution! The price is $76. That's a hefty price tag, but keep in mind that this is a niche application and if it can help service professionals streamline their efforts, the price can be easily justified. The package includes both Windows and PocketPC versions. You can buy it or trial it here. Anyone ever try this or work with something similar? Give us your thoughts.

A good idea but I know where my time would be going:
Time spent:
Browsing PPC Thoughts, 3 hours
Dilbert 1/2 hour
Other websites 1 hour
Freecell 3 hours
Wandering yard 1 hour
Making coffee 1 hour
Reading and sending private email 1 hour
Doing work 1/2 hour
It's all in a days work

while i'm sure it's full featured and a very refined piece of software, it still bugs me that as soon as you add "Business" to any part of the title or description, the price shoots up 50% as they ride on the thought that people will simply write it off as a business expense.
too bad... :cry:

looks like a good product. I am looking for something very similar but one that will suck data out of Outlook. All my appointments are categorized by project so I have most of where my time is going recorded there. Don't want to repeat the effort. Any thoughts?

A sad fact of life I'm afraid. Businesses make a living measuring costs versus value/benefit and these types of business-geared applications can typically can potentially yield trememdous profits if it provides cost-benefits.
$76 is a hefty price, but from a business perspective, it could pay for itself even if it only resulted in 30 minute savings for a service professionals working on a fixed-price project.
