All Toggld Out
For the past two months, I’ve been evaluating the Toggl tool for keeping track of how I spend my time relative to my life budget. While the initial iteration of the tool worked great, the latest version has taken away a number of the features that I really need. I’ve now decided to move on to another tool. I think the Toggl tool is great for the purpose it was designed for (real-time tracking of tasks), but without features such as being able to easily input a number of tasks that have already been completed or keep tracking tasks if you shut your computer down, it is now too hard to use for life budgeting. This would still work fine if you are tracking your freelance activities while working, but it makes it more difficult to capture tasks when you are not on the computer such as sleeping. I’ve found that since the transition to the new version occurred, I stopped using the tool to track my time since it took too long.
In keeping with the ‘Agile’ part of Agile Personal Development, I’m now trying another tool, 1Time, for doing something similar. I’ll keep you posted over the next two months as I determine the best way to use this tool for Life Budget tracking.
