Analyze How You Spend Your Time

[Brad Adrian]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&productId=123652' target='_blank'>http://www.handango.com/brainstore/...roductId=123652</a><br /><br /></div>We all have priorities for our lives and plans for how we want to spend our time. But, it's usually pretty hard to figure out precisely how we do spend our time. Well, here's an interesting little tool from SynerWork Software that can help analyze where we're spending our time: TimeMAX.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/timemax2.gif" /><br /><br />The idea behind TimeMAX is simple: each day you simply enter how much time you spend on various activities, like work, time with your children, leisure, etc. Then, TimeMAX calculates what proportion of your time is spent on each activity.<br /><br />The program is entirely configurable, allowing the user to customize the activity types, searches and categories. And the analyses are offered as tables, bar charts and pie charts. All in all, it gives a pretty good overview of just how you're spending your time.<br /><br />There is a free demo available and a full version for [gulp] $29.99 via <a href="http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&productId=123652">Handango</a>. No, that's not a typo; this program does cost $29.99.

Somehow I think I'll leave this one, if it was indeed useful, I would just spend ten or twenty minutes making a spreadsheet in Pocket Excel to do the same thing.

Embarrassingly bad and overpriced. There have been apps doing this since the Pocket PC came out and many do it better and cheaper.

It seems to me that the time spent obsessively chronicling each one of your activities would be better spent actually working toward your personal goals.

I don't think we want to chronicle how much time we spend devoted to our PPCs, do we? :D

Seems that a more logical and less time\effort in data entry would be to use the Calendar database. An app could query the Outlook Calendar database for unique Category entries and durations for reports of this type.

Actually, this application looks like something that could be fairly easily replicated using Excel and a few macros. I know that Pocket Excel doesn't support macros, but it does appear very similar.

Let's look at the programmer's own data...

Time spent checking his Handango account looking for profits: 5%
Wondering why his Handango account is utterly empty: 95%

:?

My sentiments exactly. I already know mine would reveal how much time I browse for apps and freeware.

The timer in mysystray works just as well.

Look!!!

The price has changed! https://developer.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?productId=123652

[Brad Adrian]

Talk about a responsive developer! The price has been lowered to $16.95.

Thanks, SynerWork!

Synerwork's link just said $29.95, a difference of only four cents. I'd consider it at $16.95, but not $29.95.

Brad, where did you see it for $16.95?

If I follow both the links from the article or from the developper post or even from the developer site I always get $30, NOT $17 8O
