I regularly listen to a variety of podcasts about Linux and open-source software.

Kimai is open-source time-tracking and invoicing software. I use it to keep track of how I am spending my time working on personal computer projects. It is very easy for me to spend many hours working on a project in a single sitting without realizing just how long I've been there. 10 hours can pass in the blink of an eye. Kimai helps me to better manage my time.
