168

If you can only plot things that are up to three hours why bother? I’m not going to work or sleep for 3 hours at a time

This was the only app on the store that allowed effective tracking of the 168 hours in the week. The interface allows quick reflection and logging what was done over a day. To analyze where time was spent however, the categories are fixed and don’t work well. The app could be a lot better and useful with customizable names for the categories and allowing at least 4.

As an active professional, father of 2 boys, husband, and juggling a lot of hobbies and interests, I’ve found it really easy to get bogged down in the day to day and not make progress on things that are creative/strategic, and also my own health. 168 does a fantastic job of making it easy to keep an eye on how time is being spent without demanding hours of time-accounting. It makes it easy to keep demands in check and make sure you’re spending time on stuff that’s important to you.

Thinking about balance has been a helpful way for me to think about my week.
