I have mentioned in the past that I love to be organized. A lack of organization makes me anxious so I will do anything I can to be organized. Today I wanted to share one of my favorite organizing apps. As many of you know, I run a marketing communications agency. I work with different clients and most clients are billed by the hour. Even if someone isn’t billed by the hour, I need to know how much time I spend on each account. A friend introduced me to an amazing tool that would help anyone who needs to keep track of time. The Desktop Task Timer is right on my computer. I enter a project and client and start working. When I am finished with that client, I can easily switch timing to another client. It allows me to track work down to the second. While tracking my time is helpful, my biggest issue is the amount of time this app saves. I used to track time in an Excel spreadsheet so at the end of the month I would have to add up time, multiply it by the hourly fee and calculate the total. It would take forever. Now it takes less than a minute. I just gather the month’s data and sort it by client. It calculates the time and even the fee due. No more math! Visit the main organizational post. Now you can enter a giveaway to win an iPod Touch (not here, I don’t really like iPods). Do you have any organizational tips you can share? I paid for the task timer with my own money because it was highly recommended. I have no idea who manufactures it and no one is paying me to say nice things about it. The manufacturer doesn’t even know I exist.

hmm, i do not have much organizational tips to share, maybe except organizing my students work and papers for fast and easy grading
the app you have is a wonderful tool.
Organization? What’s that? How about finding a home for all mail the day it arrives? Or confining a mess to one room, or one area of a room? I know all the tricks of the trade. I practice none of them.
On another note, this is the first time I’ve explored reading the dirty genre. It was quite thrilling =;)

Most excellent. Thank you for sharing – I love to be organized!
The publicist asks, “What is organization?”
Just the idea of a timer is a good idea. I work from home sometimes and it is hard to determine how long I have worked on something when I’m hopping from this to that. Thanks for the idea!
I try to put all my clients on a monthly retainer so I don’t have to track time at all. I’m not good at keeping track of time, but I always know what month it is…
sounds like a very handy app to have.
I often bill hourly. Thanks for sharing this app. Sounds like it will be helpful!
