Increase Your Productivity

You can increase your personal productivity with a good project,
activity and expense tracking system. By knowing how much time
you spend on non-productive tasks, you can learn to keep these
at a minimum and spend more time on productive activities. By
using a system such as the one described here, you can easily
keep track of all your hours and expenses. This will also make
invoicing your clients and preparing tax records, much quicker
and more accurate.

Activity & Expense Tracker helps self-employed individuals, or
small businesses, to keep track of time and expenses spent on
any number of projects. Writers, programmers or any consultant
can easily record the amount of time they spend on specific
activities and make notes on tasks and expenses. They can then
quickly generate invoices and reports that can be printed or
exported to word processing or spreadsheet programs.
 
Some of the features of this program are: Multiple Timers - you
can quickly switch between projects by pausing and restarting
timers for each activity; Quick Check - get an instant report on
the number of hours spent on a project or activity; Customize
background and button colors, as well as the highlight color;
Generate reports and invoices for projects, activities and
expenses, with customizable headers and footers.
 
Activity & Expense Tracker works well for small businesses or
work groups too. Each person keeps track of their own time and
expenses, exports the data and sends it to an administrator, who
imports them all, and then generates invoices and time and
expense reports.
 
Students, teachers, athletes and hobbyists can use Activity &
Expense Tracker to keep track of time spent on their projects
too. Volunteers will find the program useful for keeping track
of time and expenses for tax purposes.
 
Users can try out the software free for 30 days, before
registering it for only $49. Activity & Expense Tracker runs on
most Windows and Macintosh computers.

John Hedley comments, "As a former administrator of a 500+ seat
enterprise project tracking system, I've found most of the
single seat user shareware systems to be sorely lacking in
coherency or practicality. This is a first rate, user friendly
system."
