How to track your time when you work for yourself
The hours you recall in the evening usually come out lower than the real ones, and a month-end spreadsheet turns into «about forty». It's easier to start the clock when you sit down to work.
Step 1. Start it when you sit down
You start it when you sit down to work. You stop it, sort the time out — and the hours go into the journal.
Step 2. See the whole day
The circle shows not one task but the whole day: its daytime half from 8 to 20 and the night half if you work nights.
Step 3. Check against your yearly goal
Below the circle you see how many paid hours you already have and how many you need today to close your yearly goal.
Common questions
What if I forgot to start the timer?
You can enter hours in the journal by hand or dictate them: the timer isn't the only way.
Does the timer track only one task?
No, the circle shows the whole day, and you sort the tasks out when you stop the clock.
