Time Management

I'm not sure if any of you have issues with personal time management, but I recently discovered this great tool called Slimtimer.  You go to the website, http://slimtimer.com/, and you create a free account.  You'll get a sidebar window that has a 'timer' for every task you spend a lot of time doing at your computer.  When you sit down you can start a timer and keep track of how long you've been doing it.  From the website you can get reports on how much time you've spent on each task in the past day, week or month.
For example, you could make a timer for 'Homework', 'Projects', and 'Play/Relax', and make sure that you're not spending too much time goofing off.

Try it out if you're interested.  I made a timer for this special effects project, and I've clocked 49.28 hours in the past two and a half weeks!
