I wrote gno time where I started to look for Ubuntu (Linux/Gnome) desktop tools to help me know where I have been. Well, I have not had gno time to continue my investigation.
The general (think web, Windows, Mac) topic is regularly on the minds of lifehackers. Now, Web Worker Daily asked the question and provided a round up, but has done nothing interesting with the information. On Linux it is not GnoTime.
Time tracking does not necessarily need the same solutions as scheduling, nor even to do lists (prioritizing).
I still plan to try Rachota and GTimeLog. Anything else?

The WWD write-up listed my pages/thoughts on the matter.The dirty truth is I use a spreadsheet. I was following Joel Spolsky’s “painless estimation” for a bit and having great gains… but I also found it very stressful, so I fell off the wagon. Will try to get back on now that we’ve completed the project at work and are moving into the next phase.
Thanks for the comment engtech and for pointing out the bad link (removed from your comment). No dirt in what you are doing. It is about getting things done, right? I did not link directly to your article because I did not see anything really targetted at me (Ubuntu desktop). Did I overlook something in your excellent articles?
Well, only the web-based timetrackers would be applicable. But I think you’ll agree that web-based TT’s are annoying.
It comes down to simplicity because you want to spend time doing things instead of tracking — I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d find that a spreadsheet is the easiest way to do it.
spreadsheet: you are likely correct. Though I would like a timer, and build from there to integrate with other components for prioritizing and scheduling.
