One of the challenges of working online is the difficulty in tracking workload and tasks. Enter IDidWork.com. This is a free, web-based work logging tool that virtual workers can use to track their progress in their tasks and projects.

Other than being a free and simple application, IDidWork also has the following benefits:

• It can be used in conjunction with fellow workers’ work logs via feeds (so you can find out about each other’s work accomplishments easily)
• It can automatically (or manually) send your manager a report of your work log, depending on your settings.
• Your manager can also send you feedback/comments using IDidWork.
• You can tag each completed log, for organisation purposes. You might even want to add amount of time spent on the task.
• You can star entries that you deem are important.
• There’s a built-in analyse function that will help you to graph tasks based on # of entries done in a day or week, types of tags used, and starred entries.

I can still see several areas of development for IDidWork. For example, I would like an ability to have some kind of ‘To Do’ list that can easily be ticked and logged as a ‘completed task’, once finished. For that reason, it’ll be great if it can sync with various productivity applications and/or calendars, such as Google Calendar. It might also be handy to have multiple areas for one account, as it might be useful for people with several jobs (i.e., freelancers, serial entrepreneurs, etc).

Anyway, I’m still in my early stages of testing IDidWork. We’ll see if it ends up in my regular work apps list.
