********** Some people are pretty oblivious to time. They work crazy late, but they can’t remember what they did, they forget to eat, and they go through life in a bit of a haze. For people in this category, the current trend of self-monitoring, whether through time trackers likeToggl or fitness trackers likeFitbit, plays a critical role in helping them take ownership of their time and live happier, healthier lives.
