The Daily Habit That Protects Your Paycheck

August 29, 2024

When working on time-tracked projects, daily time tracking isn't just a task—it's a safeguard for your income. Make it a habit to record your time in 15-minute increments each day, along with a brief note of what you accomplished. Waiting until the end of the week—or worse, the end of the month—can lead to lost hours and missed pay. Plus, if a client or employer ever questions your time, having detailed daily notes is your best defense. Beyond protection, reviewing your time logs can also provide valuable insights for estimating future projects more accurately. If timekeeping isn't your thing, you might consider exploring value-based pricing, but that’s a different game altogether.
