Recording time

At least one work time life space reader liked teux deux enough to start using it. So here’s another neat, clean, free, web app designed to bring order to the working day.

It’s about recording where your time goes. And your expenses and travel.

The tool is run by 1DayLater, who recommend that instead of jotting such info on post-it notes and scraps of paper, you take ten seconds to enter it on their site. That can be done online or by text.

The 1DayLater site itself shows you a neat visual graph of where the time and money went.1daylater graph

You can export the data to a spreadsheet anytime.

1DayLater is being  developed by two brothers, Paul and David King, who’ve worked as freelances and know the problems of time tracking.  They’re a bit excited at the moment because they’ve been mentioned by the influential Lifehacker website. Not bad for two young lads from the north east.

You’ll need to register on the site. That’s quick and easy. To get an overview of how it works, watch the video.

Pas de deux

You wonder about some people’s pronunciation. In what strange dialect does “teux deux” sound like “to do”?

Put it down to the world shortage of good website addresses.

Then, when you’ve finished muttering out loud and worrying people… have a look at TeuxDeux. That is, if you’re looking for a simple, free, web-based, to-do list app.

There’s no fuss or clutter. With a week in view, you can enter tasks, check them off as done, delete and move them. There’s a someday bucket. All very neat for someone who likes daily lists, and spends most of their time on an internet-enabled computer.

Apps for iPhone and Air being worked on, and Blackberry coming later, apparently.

The intro video, 2mins 20secs, tells it like it is.
