time

I just came across this great website called Docstoc. More than 20,000,000 people each month download free professional documents.

Their lineup of forms includes business, tax, HR, real estate, and personal finance.

Especially when you’re new in business, the last thing you want to spend your time doing creating business tools from scratch.

Any resources you can recommend to save time creating?

I wrote a short post a few days ago about a program I ran across to track your time.  Then @jlhuge turned me on to something even better called Rescue Time.

Here’s a snapshot of what this program (I’m on the forever free version) tracks:

It not only tracks the websites I visit and categorizes whether they’re a good use of my time, neutral, or bad, but it also does the same with the programs I use.

It’s easy to customize a program, website or activity, so I can tell it whether it’s a good use for me or not.

Andy and I also did a self-employment show for the Free Agent Underground which we cleverly titled How to Manage Your Employees when You’re the only one.

Do you track your time? What have you found?

There’s a lot to do in a business, whether you’re starting one, reorganizing or trying to become more efficient.  I often suggest my clients track their time on a simple spreadsheet to see how they’re using the time they have.  After all, we all have only 168 hours per week.  No more, no less.  Becoming efficient is the key for a successful business.

I just stumbled on this good looking tool called toggl.  It helps you track how you’re spending your time and looks pretty easy to use.  Check it out and let me know if you like.

Update: @jlhuge turned me on to a really cool download that I’ve been using and I love it! Check it out.

Do you have other suggestions?  Leave them in the comments.
