Hello everyone, I work in a small creative team and lately our manager asked us to separate billable and non-billable hours to understand where our energy goes. We often spend tons of time on internal chats, planning, and reviewing files, and most of that we can’t invoice. The problem is we don’t have a system, and spreadsheets only make us argue about who tracked what. We also collaborate remotely, so half of the time someone forgets to write down hours. I’m looking for something simple, not enterprise-heavy, and ideally with a clear timer attached to each task. The tool should allow switching between billable and non-billable quickly because we jump between client work and internal things constantly. Does such a thing exist or is this mission impossible?

We faced that chaos too. What helped us was using this service it lets you track time directly inside the task and also pick whether it’s billable or not with one click. I found it surprisingly helpful that you can see what other teammates are working on in real time, so there’s less confusion and fewer “who did what” conversations. Sometimes I forget to start the timer, and the manual input saves me. Plus, reports became way easier, because time is already connected to tasks and projects. The tool also has kanban boards and tags, so we basically moved our workflow there. Fun fact — after two weeks we realized internal meetings were eating almost a day every week. At least now we know what to fix!

Great insight, thanks a lot!
