15 April

I woke up this morning and I heard Mazidul Akmal Sidek and Abby Fana talking in the MHI about what happened on 15 April for the past years or centuries. If I can remember some of it are something like the following:

The birth of Leonardo da Vinci
RMS Titanic sinks in the North Atlantic
Hillsborough disaster - 96 people died (all fans of Liverpool Football Club)

and some others (if interested check Wikipedia's On This Day for a lot more events). But the main point of 15 April in my life this year is that I change job again. Yup, again. Although I add this as reserved plan but I never thought of using it this fast (just over 3 months). To be honest I really hated changing work place too often but nothing much I could do to improve the situation. What really happened? I rather not saying this to the public but I could say that a father, husband or son could do anything to protect what really maters to him. Well in my case, my big family of course. I also did some thinking for the past 2 weeks and a lot of kick ass apps start pouring in my brain. It just a matter of time to complete each one of those app. Well wish me luck.

How to keep focus at work?

Did you ever feel that time really flies? You start your day by browse through your email, read news, click on link, spend hours and hours on unrelated-to-work website. When you knew it, the time is up and you're still wondering what did you do all day. Did you ever wish to overcome this? Well it is up to the individual to improve them self towards a better job or service done.

Another scenario is when you are working alone or self employed. How to keep track your time spend or how to analyze your time management towards your goal.

Yet another scenario, if you are an employer, did you ever wish that you could analyze the time spend by each of your employee?

I'm not sure how other people solve those scenarios but the way I see it there is a tool out there that specifically solve all of those (or at least half of it). Why don't you try the RescueTime. Yup the tools literally could save your time.

RescueTime is a web-based time-management tool that allows you to easily understand how you spend your time. One of the coolest things about RescueTime is that there is NO DATA ENTRY. You install a doohicky on your computer and they "magically" track all of your time usage. Take their product tour for better understanding.
