The best time tracker and time audit software I’ve found is Rescue Time.
It’s fully automated and allows you to do everything from a personal audit to keeping track of your time for billing purposes.

They’ve only gotten better over the years and have 2 million users and have logged over 3 billion hours for people like yourself.
And you don’t have to take my word, or even Peter Drucker’s word for that time tracking works.

They found that time management not only positively effects your job performance but also time acts as a well being enhancer.
Check out RescueTime.com for a 14 day free trial and then get it for $78/year or $12 month.
Give it a try and see if how you believe you’re spending your time is how you’re actually spending it.
Your move.
