ReplyDeleteFor project management, I use Replicon's suite ( http://www.replicon.com/time-tracking-softwares.aspx ). My friend has introduced this application, who used it for measuring billable hours and project work. I’ve since re-purposed it for a more personal use. It has applications for iOS and Android platform, as well as desktop and the standard web application. I suggest to use the mobile application or cloud-based application as that way we can change activities instantly and on-the-go.
