Time management tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals. There are a lot of Web 2.0 tools out there to help you suc­ceed with your 2010 new year’s resolution. Here is a list of some of the top-rated sites for help­ing you in time man­age­ment.

Res­cue­Time

Base­camp

For years project man­age­ment soft­ware was about charts, graphs, and stats. And you know what? It didn’t work. Pic­tures and num­bers don’t get projects done. Base­camp tack­les project man­age­ment from an entirely dif­fer­ent angle: A focus on com­mu­ni­ca­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion. Base­camp brings peo­ple together.

Google Wave

is an online tool for real-time com­mu­ni­ca­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion. A wave (logo at right) can be both a con­ver­sa­tion and a doc­u­ment where peo­ple can dis­cuss and work together using richly for­mat­ted text, pho­tos, videos, maps, and more. It’s still invitation-only to use the app but you can likely eas­ily find a friend who has an invite.

Mind42

is a the best free mindmap tool and helps you to organize tasks and get a better view of what and how things need to be done. Most of the other good mindmaptools have limited free versions except for this one.

Google Apps

is a Web-based hosted solu­tion, which means you can access Google Apps at any time, any­where you have an Inter­net con­nec­tion and store your con­tent right on their servers. You might hear this type of tech­nol­ogy referred to as “software-as-a-service” or “cloud com­put­ing.” Appli­ca­tions offered include Gmail for busi­ness, Google Cal­en­dar, Google Docs, Google Groups, Google Sites, and Google Video.

Now­DoThis

how do you orga­nize your day? A cal­en­dar requires you to pre­dict the unpre­dictable. A to-do list can over­whelm you with data. I wanted a “boss” to tell me what to do. Enjoy this free tool.

Google Calendar

is a very simple but very effective calendar app which has a huge number of features to help you remember important dates, create schedules and synchronize them across multiple devices.

Toggl

is a simple and very useful time tracking tool which lets you track and analyze the time you spend while working on different projects.

Team­work Project Man­ager

is an easy-to-use online team­work and project man­age­ment soft­ware appli­ca­tion that helps man­agers, staff, and clients work together more pro­duc­tively online.
