Never again be unprepared for upcoming events. Be it birthdays, marathons, anniversaries, sports events, launches, parties etc. With this simple yet powerful app you will become the master of time. 1. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. – Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace. Leo Tolstoy, the greatest humanist, put these words in General Kutuzov’s mouth. And, actually, it is a combination of two quotes. In book ten, the General says: But believe me, my dear boy, there is nothing stronger than those two: patience and time, they will do it all. Later, he repeats this idea in his thought: They must understand that we can only lose by taking the offensive. Patience and time are my warriors, my champions. By the way, check out more Leo Tolstoy’s quotes in Twitter @TolstoySays and find humanistic wisdom and daily insights. 2. Time is money. – Benjamin Franklin. Probably, the most famous quote about time by Benjamin Franklin, a person known by his productivity and various talents. In his 84 years, he became not only a prominent politician and diplomat, but also an actor, musician, inventor, and satirist. As for his famous saying, it refers to the concept of opportunity cost. This means, each choice you make has its cost, and delays (as a choice to not take action) usually lead to decrease in output. actiTIME Track hours and analyze productivity trends with actiTIME to increase work efficiency and attain excellent results Try Free Time tracking 3. Time waits for no one. – Folklore. The earliest record of this phrase is dated 1225 – before English was shaped in the modern form. The origin is uncertain, so it’s considered to be a proverbial wisdom. It means that no man has enough power to stop time or to change its course. 4. Better three hours too soon than a minute too late. – William Shakespeare. Better spend time waiting for the opportunity to take an action than miss the chance. In Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor”, the phrase is said by a character who suspects his wife’s infidelity, but in fact, it can be applied to any situation when you need to take a chance to change things. 5. Lost time is never found again. – Benjamin Franklin. You can’t keep today’s hour for tomorrow – we all know that, but still tend to procrastinate. Benjamin Franklin warns that time is a scarce resource, and if it’s wasted, it cannot be recovered later. This is why mindful planning and work on productivity are so important. 6. Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend. – Theophrastus. Ancient Greek philosophy is known by its combination of merely theoretical thoughts and practical approach. Theophrastus understood time as an accident of motion that cannot be stopped or reversed, and he said that waste of time is the most extravagant and costly of all expenses. 7. Time is the wisest counselor of all. – Pericles. Pericles, the influential ancient Greek statesman and general, was a rationalist and knew the value of time. His famous phrase was said as a warning for Tolmides, the young Athenian general who intended to invade Boeotia. Eventually Tolmides failed to listen to Pericles’ words, his army suffered a heavy defeat and he died in the battle. This quote is a warning against premature decisions and poor judgement caused by the lack of time. 8. The key is in not spending time, but in investing it. – Stephen R. Covey. A quote by Stephen R. Covey, the author of the famous time management matrix. You can spend time on useful and useless things, but if you call it “investing”, you’ll definitely invest it in something that has value and importance for you. So choose your goals wisely so that time you spend on them becomes an investment, not an expense. 9. It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important. – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince. 10. Punctuality is the thief of time. – Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Countdown at free against Event Countdown's subscription. Countdown also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). Event Countdown's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
