3 Tools to Check Your Productivity
Having a great tool makes any job easier. When it comes to productivity, your tools help you become more aware of what you accomplish and help you staying focused. These are 3 of my favorites for both home and work.
RescueTime
RescueTime runs in the background of your computer all day every day. It tracks time spent on applications and websites, giving you an accurate picture of your day as well as detailed reports. The tools also permits you to block certain elements to be sure to stay on task. RescueTime gives me an analytical view of how much time I spent on my computer on different projects. With new perspectives comes changes in behavior.
StayFocsd
StayFocusd is Google product that helps you configure your access to different websites and the internet in general. It has a timer that helps you set amounts of time permitted online or on specific sites. No more surfing the net or looking at social media rather than getting your work done on the computer. It’s difficult to undo too!
Stickk
We all have goals, but some are much harder to achieve. That’s where Stickk comes in. With commitment comes goal accomplishment. Stickk has a commitment contract to help you acknowledge what it’ll take to accomplish it, and leverage the power of putting money on the line to turn that goal into a reality. You can track your progress, post images your journal and invite friends to commit to accountability.
These three tools are just some of the tech ways to help yourself be more productive. Not all of my tools are tech and some of my favorites are simple notebooks. Whatever is your trusted tool, work with that.

I’ve never heard of Rescue Time.. I think it might be pretty interesting to see how I’m spending my time. Perhaps it would point out some bad habits – yikes:) Great tools!
What great tools! I think I would like to try RescueTime. I think I will recommend it to my small business clients with time management issues. I wonder what they would find. =)
