Top 23 Time Management Tools to Help You Avoid Burnout

Top 23 Time Management Tools to Help You Avoid Burnout

May 10, 2021   16 Min Read
While we do not have super powers to manipulate time, we do have time management tools to manage it a bit more efficiently on a daily basis.

In the business world, the old adage “time is money” still rings true. But is it possible to get time on our side in this day and age?

An average entrepreneur or team manager often has too many responsibilities to juggle. If that’s you, and you find yourself wishing the day lasted a few hours longer, you might just get your wish.

Of course, you can’t prolong the day—unless you’re working overtime—but you can spend your time at work more efficiently.

Sounds like a dream, especially when you’re so overwhelmed with your tasks that procrastination begins to rear its ugly head. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could eliminate the decision fatigue and the time-wasting that comes from poor time management?

With time management tools, that dream becomes reality. 

What Are Time Management Software Used For?

Time management tools are a bit of an umbrella term for a vast array of different apps and methodologies.

It might refer to a specific method of time management, such as David Allen’s Getting Things Done, or the Eisenhower Matrix. Both GTD and Eisenhower matrix, as well as other time management methodologies, operate under similar principles. 

Their goal is to help you: 

  • Reduce decision fatigue by setting priorities,
  • Save time by organizing your work at every place and with every workflow,
  • Establish long-term and short-term goals,
  • Measure and easily track all work done.

However, these solutions are also apps that are based on one or more of these methodologies, all designed specifically to make you and your team more productive, help you fight procrastination, and keep you safe from burnout and stress.

Seems pretty useful, right? In today’s post, we’ll go over some of the best time management apps out there. All you have to do is research the available options and pick the one that fits you best.

23 Best Time Management Tools to Help You Work More Efficiently

1. Infinity — A Time Management Software That Covers All the Bases

Infinity Time Management Tool

When it comes to time management, everyone has their own preference (obviously), which can make life pretty difficult for time planning app designers. This is why customizable software is gaining more users, and why Infinity is probably one of the most notable all-in-one options you can find (we’re not biased at all). 

The basic principle of Infinity is that you start simple and build up to whatever purpose you need it for. Only your imagination can set the limit for what you can do. With the building blocks provided by the tool—workspaces, boards, folders, and items—you can do anything from simple, personal to-do lists to complex project management for multiple team members.

Every item comes with customizable attributes, which are the main thing that allows you to adjust your time management system to what you need. 

"Excellent organizer tool. It shines most in its clarity, cleanliness, and conformability. Infinity is still in development, but development is active, ongoing, and transparent. Great team, great product, and great time to join with the Lifetime Plan!" - Michael B.

Looking for a GTD-like set-up, but only for sorting your tasks? With Infinity, you can do that by utilizing different types of views and filters according to the attributes that you set for each item. Want to build a Kanban board or a Gantt chart? Both are available, along with five other types of views in Infinity: Table, Columns, List, Calendar, Chart and Form.

Possibilities are endless, which is why Infinity users love it so much.

You can check out our basic tutorial to get a better idea of why Infinity is just right for you:

Key Features

  • 7 Different Views—Find the view that suits your needs the best and optimize the way you work. Pick between Columns, List, Table, Calendar, Gantt, Chart and Form.
  • Infinite Structure—Boards, items, folders, and subfolders—Infinity’s structure makes it a breeze to organize and adjust workflows on the fly and prevents you from wastefully spending your time.  
  • Highly Customizable Attributes—Specify your tasks with our 22 customizable attributes. Label tasks using tags, assign them to your co-workers, add start and due dates and time fields, create checklists, and way more.
  • Workload Management—We believe you are doing your best to allocate resources in the best way possible. However, there’s a thin line between assigning the optimal amount of work to your team members and overbooking them. With Infinity, you can set realistic deadlines, track everyone’s progress on tasks, but also identify when someone is lagging behind and needs more time to complete tasks. This way, you can jump in and re-schedule these tasks or invite other members to join and get them tackled on time.
  • Activity Tracking—The activity log gives you a clear overview of all changes (and when these changes were made) your comrades make on the board and item level.
  • Filters, Group & Sort—Organize and display data you want or need to see at that moment. Group and sort tasks by start or due dates to see how much time your team has to complete them, reschedule tasks that require more effort, and set priorities straight. 
  • Automations—Infinity’s workflow automations can save you massive amounts of time you would, otherwise, waste on tedious admin work and repetitive tasks, and help you and the team be super-productive, even on the busiest days.  
  • Reports—Infinity is about to release a new, reporting feature in the near future. Using reports, you can get insightful information on a weekly or monthly basis of how productive and time-efficient your team is.

And while this time management tool might seem overwhelming at first, fear not: if you need help getting started, Infinity has plenty of ready-to-use templates to choose from. They cover a variety of niches and industries (just like the tool itself), but can be customized to your unique needs easily.

To save you some time, here are a few templates that would come in handy when building your own time management system:

INFINITY TIP: Organize all of your work in Infinity and then use Clockify to track the time spent on completing your work. Review your tasks and the hours put into them at the end of each week to get a better insight into your productivity habits.

Pricing

Infinity offers both Basic and Pro plans. Basic plans start from $3.75 per user per month, and Pro plans start from $6 per user per month. All plans come with a 14-day money back guarantee, which allows you to get your money back in 14 days from the moment of purchasing a subscription plan.

BeTimeful time management app

ProofHub is an excellent time management app for collaborative projects, especially for managers whose teams have grown a bit unwieldy and tough to track. In environments like that, effective communication and task delegation are essential for proper time management.

However, any tracking app needs flexibility, too—especially when you need the ability to track multiple projects and tasks at once. ProofHub allows that by enabling users to track their project status, work progress, as well as any relevant information. 

It sets up a Kanban system for the workflow, and each team member is assigned the roles that they need to access their team’s workflow. That way, there is no confusion when assigning tasks, and permissions are easy to manage.
