			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/microsoft_windows.jpg" alt="microsoft windows" title="microsoft windows" width="128" height="128" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11907" />Timeleft is a very sophisticated time management software for the Windows operating system that provides access to a wide variety of different time related options. Among these the ability to create reminders, countdowns, stopwatches, auction watches and various others that make it one of the most complete applications in that field. The free version of the application is good for one timer function in each category which should be sufficient for most purposes. Timeleft will display two initial timers after installation and program start that show the current clock and a New Year countdown. </p>
<p><span id="more-12880"></span>It will also display a quick task window that can be used to add or edit new widgets quickly.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/time_management_software.jpg" alt="time management software " title="time management software " width="495" height="466" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12875" /></p>
<p>The options provided to edit or add a new widget are extensive. A click on any of the buttons in the quick task window will open the applications&#8217;s main window that contains the various widgets that can be created on the left side and the existing widgets of the active category on the right.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/timeleft-500x266.jpg" alt="timeleft" title="timeleft" width="500" height="266" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12876" /></p>
<p>A click on the add or edit button will open a properties window for the selected widget type that contains many options to choose from including titles, layout, formats, skins and visual effects like transparency and borders.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/time_management-427x500.jpg" alt="time management" title="time management" width="427" height="500" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12878" /></p>
<p>The active widgets can be moved around on the computer desktop easily. They are set to stay on top of other windows so that they are always visible. This among many other settings can be changed in the main program options.</p>
<p>One interesting widget is the Auction Watch add-on which can be installed as a plugin for <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/tag/firefox/">Firefox</a> and <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/tag/internet-explorer/">Internet Explorer</a>. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/auction_watch-500x263.gif" alt="auction watch" title="auction watch" width="500" height="263" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12879" /></p>
<p>This allows the user to watch auctions with the program running in the background and receive reminders when an auction reaches the end.</p>
<p><strong>Verdict:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nestersoft.com/timeleft/">Timeleft</a> is a feature rich time management tool for the Windows operating system that will suite the needs of most users who are in need of such a program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rescuetime.com/">Rescue Time</a> is a web based time management and analytic application that collects its data from a software called Data Collector that is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OSX and even Linux. This is a huge advantage over other time management applications that require manual input of the data. Rescue Time collects the data automatically as long as the Data Collector is running in the background.</p>
<p>Statistics and Information can be accessed on the Rescue Time website that displays reminds a little bit of Google Analytics. It displays all kind of information such as the total time spend working, the most popular applications and websites, top tags and even goals that can be set in the application.</p>
<p>Applications and sites can be tagged which is useful to combine them if they are related. The tag image editor could for instance be linked to Adobe Photoshop, GIMP and a Photoshop Tutorial website on the Internet. The user would then have the option to view the time spend with each application separately or together by looking at the tag.</p>
<p><span id="more-5248"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/tour1_feb27-500x356.jpg" alt="rescue time" title="rescue time" width="500" height="356" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5249" /></p>
<p>Goals can be set and tracked in the application and goal alerts can be send by email and SMS to the user. Goals are related to tags. It is for instance possible to set a goal to spend less than one hour per day on entertainment sites or at least two hours updating your blogs.</p>
<p>There is also a summary RSS feed for goals to keep track of them that way. New users can take a look at a tour or various tutorials that explain concepts. One interesting feature that I left out is the group feature which is a Pay to use feature.</p>
<p>The service is aimed at business groups and can be used in a similar way to track time management and analyse the work flow, only that it is taking into consideration every member of the group.</p>
