Time management is crucial to my business, because I charge by the hour, and until I found OfficeTime, I was truly winging it. I actually considered buying a chess clock to keep on my desk to try to keep some kind of track of my billable time. I’ve always told my clients that even when I am not sitting at my keyboard editing their books, I still carry their stories around in my head, mulling them over, and for that, I do not charge. But otherwise, I can now say that I am on the clock.

If you work in an office or a shared work area (or worse, in a “public” space, like a library or a Starbucks), one way to keep interruptions down is to be obviously very busy. If somebody interrupts you, don’t ask how they are. Instead, no matter what you’re doing, ask them if they can wait a moment. Then take a few seconds, finish your task and say, “Sorry, I’m really busy today. What can I do for you?” That sets the stage for a FAST interaction and keeps them on task. No chitchat necessary!

I believe great apps are not those that do everything. Great apps are the ones that do something well. And how do you define doing something well? It’s not always about power. It’s about being able to do the task with the minimum amount of friction. The more you have to think about using an app, the more you are distracted from doing the work you’ve set out to do.

Foreword: Three weeks ago, we posted a survey on all of our social media spaces asking what other professionals felt were their biggest time wasters. The response was huge, and TONS of people responded that Email was the #1 time suck out there. I wanted to share the entire PR to let you all draw your own conclusions around this – and hopefully come up with some keen solutions. If you’d like to share your OWN solutions here, by commenting on the blog, we’ll be happy to put them all into a follow-up piece and share it next week! Here’s to your great weekend! Stephen Dodd

Here are a 3 time management tips to help you get out of the office and get into the rest of your life! #1. Remember that DONE is better than perfect. It’s SO easy to get hung up on edits and re-edits on anything we do. Believe me, as a developer, I can understand that. And while some things demand and necessitate perfection (like creating the app for our Time Tracker), the reality is that MOST things are a process, rather than a destination we arrive at. We’ve certainly seen that as our app and software has changed and developed over time.

OfficeTime currently syncs wirelessly from your desktop to your iOS device. It does a pretty good job at this. Any changes you make will be automatically updated within a few seconds. It just works. You can sync your desktop to every iPhone, iPad, iPod that you have and it’ll sort itself out. Your computer doesn’t even need to have a wireless connection itself, as long as it’s connected to the same network that gives your iPhone, etc., wireless internet.

One valuable way to manage your tasks, believe it or not, is to do the toughest thing first. The one that’s been hanging over your head for weeks (or longer). Do THAT first, and then the rest of the day is not only easy, by comparison, it’s also far less distracted!
