--CLOCKIFY--
a work hours tracker

Clockify is the ultimate tool meant to improve your time management. This time tracker and time management app enables you to track the time you spend on various activities, providing you with data meant to improve your work routine.

The Clockify time management software helps you track work hours, before calculating your billable hours and payroll. You’ll also be able to assess whether you always spend your time at work on productive activities, or not.

Once you create an account, you can choose how you want to track time, on the Time Tracker page:
- In the Timer mode: start the timer once you start working on an activity, and stop it as soon as you’re done.
- In the Manual mode: enter the time you’ve spent working on an activity manually. Alternatively, you can enter time manually in the Timesheet view.

After you’ve logged all your time, you can generate visual and weekly Reports indicating how productive you are with your work within a specific time period, and how much you need to invoice your clients.

--REMEMBER THE MILK--
a task manager

Remember the Milk is the perfect task manager among time management tools, one meant to help you remember items in your to-do list.

This simple virtual assistant allows you to:
- add tasks
- associate tasks with sub-tasks
- define due dates for everything you need to do

The system distinguishes between personal and business tasks, but you can also take task management to a whole new level. Smart lists are created based on special criteria you’ve previously defined — they’re updated automatically, once something about your task changes.

--FOREST--
a focus app

Forest is the ultimate focus app that helps you save time, by encouraging you to pursue your tasks and avoid procrastinating.

The gist is simple:
1. You blacklist websites you want to avoid.
2. When you want to focus on a task, you plant a virtual seed.
3. Within the next 30 minutes, the seed grows into a virtual tree — but only if you stay focused on the task.

If you falter on your task, and check a website you’ve previously blacklisted, your tree withers and dies instantly.

If you manage to stay focused on all your tasks within their 30-minute time-frames, you cultivate an entire forest.

As an added bonus, if you spend the virtual coins you earn in the tool, the Forest team contacts their partners, Trees for The Future, and arranges for a real tree to be planted somewhere.

-ASANA--
a team organizer

Asana is meant to improve your time management by streamlining team collaboration. Your team can easily manage tasks and projects, and not waste a minute wondering about who needs to do what, and when.

You'll be able to:
- prioritize tasks and projects
- define deadlines
- specify project details
- assign tasks to the most appropriate team members

Once you've done that, you'll be able to follow the tasks' progress in a visual project plan, one which helps you prevent potential problems, gaps, and overlaps.

One standout Asana feature is its Focus Mode. This mode allows you to see and tackle one task at a time, without feeling tempted to succumb to the dangers of multitasking.

--IFTTT--
a conditional statements creator

IFTTT is a conditional statements creator based on the famous “If this, then that” condition. You’ll be able to connect devices, apps, and services, and then define automations that trigger linked actions within these devices, apps, and services.

For example, you can create a condition to:
- log all phone calls you make on your Android and add them to your Google Spreadsheet
- turn off the lights in your house when you set your Nest Thermostat to "away"
- mute your phone when Google Calendar recognizes you have a meeting scheduled
- create tasks in Todoist when you put a star next to an email in your Gmail inbox

These automated “recipes” are called “applets”. There are over 30 groups of applets, from those for travelers to those for educators, and each group offers an array of software combinations and commands.
