Clockify is a free productivity tracker<\/a> used by millions of users worldwide. It allows you to organize your tasks by project and track the time you spend on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Clockify work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My team and I like that Clockify allows us to choose how<\/em> we want to track our time. With Clockify\u2019s Chrome extension, I can track the time I spend on tasks<\/a> with a single click. I just type in my task name, click Start<\/em> on the timer at the extensions bar, and begin my workday \u2014 the same applies to my teammates. As soon as I\u2019m done, I click Stop<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you want to record your work hours manually, you can fill in timesheets or use ready-made, printable templates<\/a> in Clockify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I like about this tool is how it helps me improve my time management skills<\/a>. With Clockify, I can measure the time spent on my daily activities<\/strong> and analyze where my time goes. This way, I can see whether I\u2019m spending my time wisely or if I could be more efficient, as I get an overview of my time entries as soon as I\u2019m done tracking them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Clockify\u2019s Chrome extension offers the Pomodoro timer,<\/a> which allows me to work at regular work\/break intervals. This helps me stay focused<\/a> on the task at hand and increases my productivity<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
