1. To Track my Time ..... TOGGL

www.Toggl.com
What a great little tool! Toggl keeps track of my time so I can accurately bill clients. I can easily track time on or off-line and generate reports by client, project, or tag. And it's FREE. Or you can pay $5 a month for extra billing features.

2. To Edit my Images ..... PIXELMATOR

www.Pixelmator.com
I think that I SHOULD have Photoshop, but it's hard to justify the price when Pixelmator can do so much. It seems to have everything that I really need for only $15 and there are lots of on-line tutorials to help me use it better. I use this image editing software on my Mac for removing backgrounds, cropping, resizing, cloning, and special effects .... Do I really need more?

3. To Match Colors ..... CLASSIC COLOR METER

There are several other similar tools out there, but this is what I use to pick, or match, just the right color and get the exact hex/RGB values that I need for my images and backgrounds. I use it for web development, brochures, email marketing, you name it. Only $2.99
