As it is, we defined a "day" based on the cycle of the sun's movement in the sky, the "month" based on the phases of the moon and the "year" based on the seasons, which are attributed to the planet's axial tilt. All other units of time are derived from these three fundamental values.
If humanity lived on a planet that was tidally locked to the sun (no apparent day), no moon (no apparent month) and an axial tilt of 0 degrees (no apparent year), how would we keep track of time?

What the question is really asking is whether there is a clear frequent and constant cycle of some thing other than those mentioned in the question that you could measure time against. So if the objects we use to measure months, seasons, years, hours and days weren't usable, what object could we use and what would it measure?
I don't really think there is one other than the location of stars other than the sun in the sky. Basically using them to measure a day in the same way as we use the sun. However it maybe difficult to do this if you're on the side of the earth always facing the sun.
