A really big deal

October 30th, 2008

We’ve been hard at work making our product rock even harder. Here’s what happened:

• Improved stability in TimeCamp Data Collector
• We have new partner – Nozbe
• TimeCamp starts spreading

Our first partner – Nozbe.com!

We started a partnership with Nozbe.com by exchanging banners. But our partnership just started. In our heads we have many burning ideas.

We hope that time management and improving efficiency will be  better through TimeCamp and Nozbe.
Know, verify (TimeCamp) and plan (Nozbe) your time to live easier and better.

About Nozbe.com

This is definitely one of my favorite web-based GTD systems. You can sign up for free Nozbe account here. If you are not familiar with GTD methodology, I recommend Simply Get Things Done Course.

TimeCamp starts spreading

We are proud to announce that people can download TimeCamp Data Collector from hundreds of sites (like download.com or softpedia.com) and know how they spend their time.

TimeCamp Tip: TimeCamp users can see total number of shifts to an application (for selected time period, like 1 day) by clicking  “Apps & Sites” in the Dashboard.

What you measure, you improve

October 18th, 2008

Jim Estill says “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it since I am a continuous improvment person.”

But why measure?

• If you cannot measure it, you cannot control it.
• If you cannot control it, you cannot manage it.

But measurement is not an end in itself. The goal is to achieve an objective.

Our typical user spends an average of 4.5 hours a day at the computer. This will result in 19% of the total daily time. It’s quite a bit, huh? In TimeCamp everything is automatically recorded – with no data entry. Stop wondering “where did my day go?”. Reviewing your log can help you identify tasks you could delegate, defer or drop, tasks that you could spend less time on or time killers such as being interrupted by checking email.
