It’s Monday! And what better day of the week to talk about time management? There are a ton of time management tools out there — some general, and some more specific to the needs of coders and developers.

There's the good ol’ Pomodoro Technique, a time management method that involves breaking work into 25-minute intervals that are separated by quick breaks. But there are also so many time-tracking and task management apps, project management software, calendar apps, and note-taking tools. Not to mention code editors like Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text.

Using these tools (the right tools for you…and if you use them) can help you manage your time more effectively and be more productive as a coder or developer. Which do you use?

Which tools and technique do you use? And what would you suggest for newbies who are just getting started and need a way to stay focused?
