I attend meetings of the NY InDesign Users Group, and often post forum questions. I am looking for tools to expand my skills as designer, and my familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (I don't have latest versions at the office, and can't afford my own). How do you folks keep your skills fresh? Suggestions?

Can I install a program that will run in the background and give me reports on how long specific applications/files were open on my computer? Up until now I have been using an Excel spread sheet with estimated times. What types of tools do you folks use to track your time spent?

Hi Elliot.

1. I believe just doing it is the only way to keep the skills fresh. I 
understand you do not have the latest software at home, try to obtain 
it. Maybe your employer will oblige you with another licens?

2. No idea what computer you use but my Mac can give logs which will 
tell me how much time I spent having programs open....but hey must it be 
to the minute??
I use Filemaker and just type in the time I spent on projects, with a 15 
minutes detail. After that everything can be generated, even the 
invoices. I can see what the bid was, what the outsourced costs were and 
how much time I spent.

After that I see again: I did not make the profit I wanted;)
