I would like to time myself with regards to the time I spend on a particular task.

Is there a software that could act like a stopwatch or something on similar lines.

This way I want to gauge how efficiently and fast I can do a particular task and if necessary optimize it to reduce the time to the minimum possible.

Any additional features would be a bonus.

There is a stopwatch program called… Stopwatch. It may already be distributed with your operating system, e.g. stopwatch Install stopwatch.

But maybe you're looking for a time-tracking program, such as gnotime (gnotime Install gnotime) or ktimetracker (ktimetracker Install ktimetracker)

I didn't mention it earlier but do you have windows equivalent of these? – Kevin Boyd Dec 9 '10 at 9:36
@Kevin: I don't. When you ask for a software recommendation, you should say on what OS you want the software to run. – Gilles Dec 9 '10 at 18:04

Try ManicTime. The standard edition is free and available for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
