Sometimes I wonder how much time I have spent on a meaningful endeavor, or how I can set goals to help myself consistently work towards it. Thus, I build the Prism. Prism allows you to track/set time spending on a project base, with a set of rule-of-thumb time management tools. Hope this little Prism can help you focus on the things you really want to do (it has helped me a lot at least). Feel free to leave a comment on the features you'd like Prism to incorporate!
