Use timesheet timers
You can use timers to keep track of your work. The recorded time can then be used to create timesheets. This makes it easier for you to account for the time you have spent on a job and therefore, you can establish more accurate fees for your clients.
The timer can be started quickly and will use the default name Timer 1. You can stop the timer if another task interrupts the current one, and you can add a timer for that new task. You can have multiple timers which can be stopped, started and deleted as required.
