Default How do you track your time?
Good Afternoon All,

Does anyone have a time tracking system that they would like to share? When working with multiple clients, how do you track the time that you spend working for each client? Is there software available that tracks the time that you spend doing certain tasks? Any feedback is great appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi!

Here is a list of time-tracking softwares I found on the net. Hope it helps.

I've been using Funky time for a while.

I use free Time Stamp by http://www.syntap.com/downloads.htm

It's pretty easy. Each month I create a new report for each client. When I start the task, I hit the button, then hit the button to stop. It tracks time and allows for different dollar amounts if you have variable fees. I just print the report and attach to invoice at the end of the month.

It's not the most high-speed tracking program but it works for me

I also use Freshbooks and I love it. I've tried lots of others, but have always gone back. To make things easier, they have a widget for windows sidebar (vista only) that allows you to track without being on the site which makes life even easier for me.

And I use paymo.biz for my time tracking. Free and I can create projects for each client with task lists divided into individual tasks. There is a link in the task bar, so all I have to do is click to pull it up and choose the project and the task. I love it It's a great tool when you are just starting out and need to watch the pennies.

I've used a lot of different time trackers. I started with a generic time tracker, then moved 'up' to MyHours. Then in January I found Klok, which I loved because it was on my desktop. I recently paid for Klok2 which allowed me additional features, including an upcoming integration with Freshbooks; which I've started using recently.

I also use Paymo and have for awhile. I like it. I has a desktop widget as well that makes it easy to just select a project and track it. Plus I like that I can other users so when I subcontract, I can have them use on it the projects as well.

I also use Freshbooks. I don't have the side bar, but a different mini page comes up with just the time tracking so you don't need to be on their site. It is very user friendly.
