Blocking certain websites is only the first step to increased productivity. People waste time in many different ways, including long lunch breaks, chatting with friends on their phone etc. And aside from preventing distractions, Time Doctor empowers users to manage their own time better, and gives managers the insights they need to improve the allocation of time across the whole team. Unless you’re tracking time through the entire work day you cannot know where people's time is spent. Outside of tracking time spent working, Time Doctor has many other benefits, for instance, helping a person focus on their priorities, and automatically sending daily reports outlining priorities and tasks completed for an entire team. If you could turn off the website monitoring features you’d still get significant benefits from the software.
