Many types of reports are provided to give you insight on exactly where and how your time is being spent.

This makes Worktime Studio your ultimate personal workflow manager. The software's unique and flexible interface allows you to concentrate on your work, and less time managing and tracking your projects, tasks, and workload.

Work Efficiently

Worktime Studio works on the principal of Divide & Conquer, and allows you to easily break your projects, tasks and workload up into smaller pieces that we call WorkItems, and organize them in a way in which they are easy to manage. Most likely you have dozens if not hundreds of WorkItems you need to do in a typical work week. What's more, while you're busy working on one of your many WorkItems, many more WorkItems which need to be done come to mind. Worktime Studio realizes this scenario, and allows a very quick and easy way to enter these new WorkItems in its interface, without breaking up your current concentration or flow.

Worktime studio will allow you to perform your normal computer work without worrying about distractions, keeping track of breaks, or keeping count of non-work related activities. Worktime Studio does this while using little system resources and using little or no valuable desktop space.

Prioritize your Work

Worktime Studio's prioritizer allows you to determine quickly which of your activities to tackle next. The prioritizer is not your typical task list. The prioritized list can order your WorkItems by multiple criteria, including due date, priority, difficulty, and estimated time, allowing you to find the best WorkItem to tackle at any given time. What's more, you can apply many filters to the list to narrow down the selection of WorkItems which you're interested in.

When Worktime Studio is in its Studio Bar mode, the prioritizer is just a click away, giving you quick access to determine what to work on next. What's more, you can change the current WorkItem, perform any of the clocking actions on the current WorkItem, and many more actions while in Studio Bar mode.

Estimate Time More Accurately

When you break a medium to large sized project or job into smaller and smaller chunks, which we call WorkItems, you can more accurately estimate the time it will take to finish the project or job. Worktime Studio enforces this Divide and Conquer practice, and also encourages you to enter estimated times for all your leaf WorkItems. Doing this allows all branch WorkItems to automatically calculate the total estimated times of their descendents, giving you a detailed account of the estimated time for all the different levels and branches of your WorkItem Hierarchy. Worktime Studio then uses this information to accurately track your progress, and display your progress at each level of the hierarchy.

Not Everything You Do is a Project or Task

Most project management software and task management software applications limit you to creating projects and tasks for everything you do. Worktime Studio realizes that not everyting you do can be classified as either a 'Project' or 'Task'. That's why Worktime Studio allows you to create your own WorkItem types for your particular needs and work environment. If you're a software developer, you could create WorkItem types such as 'Defect', 'Feature', 'Requirements', and 'Unit Testing'. If you're a manager, you could create WorkItem types such as 'Scheduling', 'Project Meeting', 'Manager Meeting', 'Email Correspondence', 'Employee Review', and 'Interview'. If you're a student, you could create WorkItem types such as 'Class Attendance', 'Homework', 'Sports', and 'Work'. If you're a software tester, you could create WorkItem types such as 'Regression Testing', 'Acceptance Testing', 'Functional Testing', 'Writing Test Cases', 'Project Meeting', and 'Requirements'.

Worktime Studio comes installed with three basic WorkItem types 'Group', 'Project', and 'Task'. You are encouraged to create additional types based on your needs. When you create your own WorkItem types, you can assign your own icons to those types, and give them a specific color to distinguish them in your WorkItem Hierarchy. You can even set your own rules which determine which types can be children of other types. There's no limit to how you can customize Worktime Studio to meet your needs for the specific type of work you do.
