Small Changes Lead to Big Results
If you go to a gym every other day for 1 hour, you will see your first improvements after about 3 weeks, (9 total hours of work.) If you try to have a 9-hour session all at once, you will quit the gym forever.
If you study something for 2 hours every day, for 5 days straight, you will get a much better understanding of the topic as opposed to having one 10-hour marathon session which will exhaust you and kill your motivation.
Basically, if you are working towards a long-term goal you want to make small steps regularly, not huge leaps once in a while.
With Chaos Control Time Tracker the following scenario is possible:
Let’s say you have the goal of writing a book. You decide that everyday, first thing in the morning, you will write for two hours. Two hours per day means over 700 hours in a year. That’s significant progress and most likely a complete book

This applies to a whole variety of goals: even if the result you want is far away, every step counts, every step is a success and every step is logged. Our recurrent tasks, in tandem with the Time Tracker, are very helpful to take these small steps regularly and know you are progressing

FAQ
I already paid for Premium. Why pay again?
No worries, we don’t push you to purchase Pro if you are happy with your Premium plan. All Premium users will receive all the future updates and new Premium features currently in development.
However, a particular set of features requires significant investments and ongoing fees for infrastructure and support. For example, the Cloud Storage feature cannot possibly be sustained by the Premium plan alone, (regardless of lifetime or subscription.)
This is why we need to introduce the higher tier PRO plan and this is why it is only available as a subscription.
As a special thank you for our Premium customers, we offer a 50% discount for any PRO purchasing option.
