Timers that fit how you work
Countdowns, stage prompts, billable hours, locked entries and reading the week back.
Starting and stopping a timer is the easy part. The rest of time tracking is a set of small rules that exist for good reasons, and are much less annoying once you know what they are protecting.
Four lessons: working to a countdown instead of a stopwatch, the single-timer rule and the prompts you get when a task changes stage, billable time and the deadline after which entries lock, and finally how to read your own timesheet and your team’s so the hours tell you something.
By the end you will be able to
- Use countdown mode to put a budget on open-ended work
- Answer the stage-change prompts so time is recorded per stage
- Track billable and non-billable hours and log them before entries lock
- Read the Entries and Calendar views, and the Team Timesheet, for what each is good at
