Question on: TrackingTime PRO

How to stop missing billable hours when my team is constantly task-switching?

TrackingTime fixed this problem for us completely. It stays running in the background and has a smart reminder that pops up if it sees you’ve been working but forgot to start the timer. It also lets us use AutoTrack to see exactly what app we were in, so we can correct the entry accurately. We basically don't lose money to forgotten time anymore.

Leverage TrackingTime to stop missing billable hours lost to task-switching: 1. Activate AutoTrack: The Memory Saver The single most effective tool against task-switching is our AutoTrack feature (available in our paid plans). How it Works: AutoTrack runs in the background of your desktop app and silently records your activity—which apps you open, which websites you visit, and which documents you edit. This data is 100% private to the user. The Win: If your team member jumps between a client call (no tracker on), a quick email, and a design review, they can look at their AutoTrack's records at the end of the day. It shows them the gaps and the exact activities they performed. They can then click on the recorded activity and instantly turn it into a perfectly accurate time entry assigned to the correct client/project. No more guessing or forgetting the quick 15-minute tasks that add up to hundreds of billable hours. 2. Use the Browser Extension for Seamless Switching Missing time often happens when your team has to leave their workspace (like Asana, or Jira) to find a separate timer. How it Works: The TrackingTime browser extension embeds a one-click "Start Timer" button directly inside the 60+ project and business apps your team already uses. The Win: When a designer switches from an Asana task for Client A to a Jira ticket for Client B, they don't open a new app. They simply click the embedded timer in the new task. TrackingTime is smart enough to automatically stop the timer for Client A and start the timer for Client B with the correct task description. This eliminates the friction that causes lost time. 3. Rely on the Real-Time Data The desktop and web apps provide a clear overview of each user's day. How it Works: Pace report shows daily activity by user, showing if they reached or not their time goals. The Win: This is the easiest way for you to audit your team and for your team to self-audit. By making time tracking a natural extension of the work itself—instead of a manual, separate chore—TrackingTime ensures you capture every single billable minute, no matter how much context switching your day involves.
