Time Sheet

How do you bill your time?

I use the below time sheet.

At the end of each day, I enter my time (tallied in the left column).

Then, I make a new sheet, for tomorrow.

I list the matters (in the "matter" column) and the action items in the "description" column.

If feeling really hectic, I'll even number the tasks by priority: 1 for most important, down to however many I think I can get through that day.

Then, by hand, I track my time throughout the day.

I add matters as surprises come up.

I go to a second page as needed.

I include non-billable matters and tasks too.

I track it all--legitimately all of it.

At the end of each day, I enter my time and repeat the cycle.

A perpetual to-do list.

A closing ritual.

A reflection on how I spend my time.

How do you keep track?
