Online timer + ToDo List Web Application
If you need a todo list with timers that able you to time every tasks from start to finish, there is a web service that may able to help you. It is called ClockWork.
ClockWork is a time management solution that allows you to easily track what you do during your day. ClockWork is ideal for anyone who works with clients on an hourly basis, or needs a solution to track productivity for any task or project.
ClockWork allows you the flexibility to start, pause and resume an unlimited amount of task timers making it easy to switch between tasks without delay. You simultaneously run timers for multi-tasked projects, or easily switch back and forth between tasks, all without ever refreshing the page.
I don’t tend to measure myself on a task with a timer, as in my opinion the administration on controlling timer maybe higher than each tasks that I wrote down on my todo list. However there maybe some practical usages. Let me know if you guys have any experiences on using timers and what are the benefits.

I have to use a timer, like many trial attorneys, as this is how client billing is managed. Most attorneys that base their fees on hourly rates use time increments of 1/10th of an hour (i.e., 6 minutes). Therefore, we’re always looking for timers that convert hours/minutes/seconds into “time spent” in real numbers (1.6 hours, 0.5 hours, etc.). The only downside to this application is that it doesn’t automatically do that.
I find that there’s no substitute for using a “Daily Time” notepad for keeping track of tasks. This is a specialized notepad sold by stationary/office supply stores that lists a client identifier, time spent in hours and 1/10th hour increments, and then a description header. If these entries are later entered into an automatic billing system, then the paper copies work as back-up or personal records.

That’s a pretty good example. I think timer + ToDo are suitable for profressional like attorneys, or consultants.
I work in an IT company in engineering department so I do not have to time myself on doing the work :)
Your point on using Daily Time notepad is pretty good, and paper has more authority against stating time and other records. Timer on the computer seems does not have such authority.
