Do you feel like you loose track of time while visiting Facebook or Twitter? It’s often what I hear small business people saying about using social media as a way to syndicate their content, or message.
I found a great little tool to help you with that. In fact, I’m using it with this post. I happened upon Pomodairo the other day. It’s a cool little Google tool to help you time your tasks.
I try to share links to blog posts that I think will help my followers on Twitter, friends on Facebook and my blog readers would enjoy reading. I allotted myself 15 minutes this morning to check out my Google Reader and share links to articles. I was pleasantly surprised that the 15 mins. I gave to the task was really all I needed, and I finished right on time.
Give Pomodairo a whirl and see if setting a time for a given task will help you maximize syndicating your content, or message, raising your online visibility, credibility and profitability.

Oh, goodness. I can’t even cope with following my friends on Facebook unless I set time limits (and stick to them). Social media tools really can take over your life if you don’t watch out.
As far as time trackers go, the open source tool from Rochata is another good one. It lets you see a graphical representation of how much time you spend on each task. That can be a real eye opener if you tend to “fritter” time away on Twitter. Fortunately, it’s one of the actually free applications – not just a 30 day trial. Here’s a link:
