Lesson 2 of 2

Fill the gaps and read your timesheet

Add the time you forgot to track, then use the week as information rather than admin.

Nobody tracks every hour live. The timesheet exists so the record can be completed afterwards, honestly.

Adding time by hand

  1. Open Timesheet.
  2. Press Add Entry.
  3. Say what you worked on, set the time, and mark it Billable if it should be charged for.

Do this the same day where you can. Reconstructing a Tuesday on a Friday is guesswork wearing a suit.

Reading the week

Switch between Entries and Calendar. The list is for checking and correcting; the calendar is for seeing shape — which days were fragmented, where a block of real work actually happened.

Filter by workspace to separate one client or project from another.

What to do with it

The useful question is not "how many hours" but "how did the estimate compare". If you set estimated time when creating tasks, the gap between estimate and actual is the most valuable number in Hitaji — it is the one that makes next month's plan believable.

Expect to be wrong at first, and by a lot. Everyone is. The point is that after a few weeks you know by how much, which is enough to plan around.

Worth remembering

  • Fill gaps the same day — reconstruction later is guesswork.
  • Calendar view shows the shape of a week; the list is for correcting it.
  • Estimate versus actual is the number worth watching.
