Default Time Tracking???
I need help trying to find a good, multi use, time tracking system. Does anyone have any suggestions? How do you track your billable time?

Thanks,
Kirsten

Hi Kirsten,

Please see post I have only played around with it briefly but I think this will help. The system is called Paymo http://www.virtualassistantforums.co...3137#post97619

I hope this helps!

Hi Kirsten,

Time tracking is a topic that has been covered here at VAF quite extensively. In fact, the 'Search The Forums' tool is really quite handy and can give you a comprehensive listing of just about any term you search under.

Some of the threads discussing time tracking can be read here and here and here.

Good luck!

Hello Kristen,

I use http://www.paymo.biz it is free for up to 3 users. I open an account for each client and keep them separate by doing so. This allows me to add sub-contractors under each clients account.

Good luck in your research,
Andrea

Definitely Paymo! Provides a handy desktop client so you don't have to be logged in to their website too.

Is there any other free time tracking resource? for some reason I find Paymo hard to use.

I've recently started using Paymo and LOVE it so far. I find it easier to use than other programs I've tried.

I use www.myhours.com. It's really simple and easy to use. I've also recently heard of another one called ClockingIt.

I use Paymo as well (And Andrea, that's a GREAT idea, I think I'll do that too) but I've also used and like Freshbooks. I think you're going to have to do your own research and find the one that suits your style the most.

After reading the recommendations for Paymo, I went online and started using the program. I really like it; it's easy to use and to generate new projects. I use quickbooks for invoicing, so doubt I'll use that module. Anyway, I recommend it also.
