I tried using QuickBooks timer and did not like it. There are too many keystrokes and not time efficient. I have tried many things to date to streamline the tracking of my client time. The most efficient method that I have found is to just keep it simple. I purchased a timer and I keep it placed in front of my computer. It is a nice timer that you can record time going both ways. I can set the timer for an hour and it will alert me when that hour is up. Also, I can start the timer when I start a project and it will track until I turn off. It records in hours, minutes and seconds. As soon as I complete a project I will post the time to the appropriate client ClientSpot. Then I print out my client reports at end of month for invoicing.
