Hourly charge?
You are right, active minds are hard to track….Remember the point of
the exercise is to simply gain an insight on how much time is
actually spent on different projects. More than once I have done
something for someone else and grabbed some of it for the ucrrent
project. I just basically write down the time spent. In the course of
the day I may work on 4-5 different projects. I simply keep a log of
time (00:00) begin and time end. I add up the hours later. Believe
me I sure don't use a stopwatch. You might also keep track of the
discussion time with clients. That adds up. I have been lucky to be
able to charge for that time too. Keeps the meeting shorter <g>.
