The app is inspired by Lyubichev's time management method, with a simple interface and smooth interaction, allowing you to focus only on your own time. You can use it to record time, analyze time, eliminate time waste, and rearrange your time. 【Tip Time】: -Animation: A lot of animation elements have been added to enhance the user experience and make your interaction smoother. -Statistics: You can freely analyze any events in any time period to better manage every day in your life -Recording: simple event recording with three elements, simple and efficient -Backup: Provide iCloud backup and export mailbox data to ensure your data security 【Member Service Agreement】: https://acg.mephisto.site/protocol/time/vipprotocol.html 【Privacy agreement】: https://acg.mephisto.site/protocol/time/contract.html The main points of Ljubischev's time management law:   ⑴ Maintain the authenticity and accuracy of time records. Truth refers to the record of the work site, not the supplementary record. Accuracy requires that the error of the record is not more than 15 minutes, otherwise the record has no use value;   ⑵Don’t believe in the estimation from memory, people’s memory of time as an abstract material is very unreliable;   ⑶The selected time recording section should be representative;   ⑷ Adjust the time allocation plan in time. When checking the time record, find out the difference between the planned time and the actual time spent in the previous period, and use this as a basis to reallocate the time consumption in the next period;   ⑸ Persistence is success
