![]() There have been times where instead of learning his multiplication problems in Math, I have found him watching videos on Youtube and with Toggl tracking how much time he spends on each class I can easily see when and where he is getting distracted or may need help. What I really love about it is how it allows me to track how much time my son is spending on each of his classes, especially since he is in virtual online school this year. I further noted that I spent an additional 30 minutes a day finishing my work for Accounting and planned my future days accordingly. Toggl has shown me that I was spending roughly the same amount of time working on each classes' assignments, apart from one class. This allows you to see which areas you might be spending too much time on. You can see how much time you have spent on a specific task/class or during a specific time period. The ability to track how much time you spend on each class is very helpful and let's you see just how productive you are. While he is simply navigating third grade compared to my taking classes to receive my bachelor's degree, Toggl helps us both immensely. I use Toggl to track both mine and my child's schoolwork on a daily basis. I can think of so many more uses for it that don't apply to me or my business but its robust and really well integrated with loads of other apps. If you work with multiple clients, have many different types of tasks, or you want to know how much to bill a client (a function I didnt use it for as I work for myself) Toggl is the job. When you can accurately track your time you can see where you are slipping up going over losing money and it helps get over the pitfalls of a busy and variety filled work day. That quickly turns into 40 minutes and then the momentum is gone! I don't know how long Ive been working on what and then all of a sudden its 5pm and its all over! Waiting for files to render means 4-10 minutes of time twiddling my thumbs then picking up on some other task like replying to emails that I would like to do for the ten minutes. My time was slipping away and I didn't know where it was all going. A small nitpick but it does mess with my flow. There's an odd bug in the Asana integration that forces me to use a mouse to add tags rather than keeping my hands on my keyboard. I also spend more time than I'd like correcting tags, and making sure tasks are categorized properly. I have done this, yet I tend to format my system a few times a year and having no way to "remember" these settings becomes a pain. short of going in and honing which notifications show where, it remains an issue. But the Chrome extension is required to sync with Asana and I prefer to use the desktop client when, well, I'm at my desktop. The thing is, I don't need notifications from the web app and desktop client and the desktop client on my laptop next to me. Part of this might be attributed to my own connectivity challenges at times and the configuration of each client on every system. If you're on one computer, this isn't an issue but when moving between devices this isn't as seamless as I'd like. ![]() There are 4 places I set it up (see Pros) and sometimes they conflict / send duplicate messages / aren't in sync or don't sync very quickly. ![]() ![]() Its cross-platform nature also proves to be a challenge (at lest for me).
