Time is a valuable commodity and is easy to spend online. No matter who you are, student, developer or seo optimizer, the Internet is always ready to absorb all your time.
Fortunately, there are plenty of free, easy-to-use stopwatches on the net, through which, through skillful use, you can easily increase the value of time spent.
Start / Stop
It is very easy to lose a lot of time if you use the Internet as:
- playground
- nice, cozy sofa to relax while you work.
Instead of losing a lot of time during the working day, try using the “Start / Stop” method. Every time you start working, just start the stopwatch. (My favorite version is
this , a simple full-screen stopwatch that can be minimized during operation). When you take a break, even to go to the toilet, stop the clock. As soon as you return to work, start again.

Very simple. Start / stop. Despite this, after you start the watch, you should not lose time. Start working. If you suddenly find yourself inactive, stop the stopwatch and, before starting up again, set yourself up for work.
Record the results
Recently, I wrote about the benefits of using the extension for Firefox
Zotero . This free application allows you to easily drag and drop any information into the notepad widget. Zotero is very convenient to use with an online stopwatch called
Chronme .
Chronme not only knows how to count the amount of time, but also records the date and time of the day when you use it. This is a very useful feature for those who monitor performance, because the logs automatically save information about every break you make in work.
Periodically, you can drag and drop this data into a stand-alone Zotero notebook. In addition, since Chronme is a widget, you can put it on your personal blog, where you can record your own daily indicators.
Analyze data
At the end of the day, take a look at the total amount of time you have worked and try to determine exactly when you have lost time. Try this experiment with one or two friends and compare the productivity of work with each other.
Maybe your friend will do his job more efficiently than you, while spending less time. Maybe not. If so, try to learn the secret of his success.
Use time effectively

Time is money, especially if you know how to use it correctly. Free up the time of your day, taking maximum advantage of a small amount of time.
Why are you working for several hours on a project that does not deserve 30 minutes of your time? You yourself will see the trend of reducing the waste of precious minutes, hours and even whole days.
