OFFICETIME TIMESHEET HOW TO
Suddenly, my iCal started to see meaningful and I know much better where the time goes! I am planning a separate entry on how to integrate OfficeTime and iCal effectively.Īnother OfficeTime feature is that it allows you to track not only projects but also “categories”. For example, if you are timing your work on the project, OfficeTime can add it to a particular iCal calendar, thus making it easy for you to see how you spent your time in the last days or weeks. OfficeTime can also work the other way around. This really saves time in tracking big chunks of time (for me these are lectures, meetings and travel). For example, if you have an appointment from 1 to 2 pm scheduled in your calendar, OfficeTime can automatically record this one hour as spent on a specific project (based on the particular calendar and keywords in the title of the iCal event). One of the greatest features of OfficeTime is that it synchronizes with Mac Calendar, iCal. When you come back the program asks you whether you want to subtract the minutes you have been absent from your project. When you track time with OfficeTime you can configure it so that it registers when you are away from your computer for more than, say, 5 min and stops timing. It made time tracking almost effortless and really fun. Eventually I found an excellent program called OfficeTime which far exceeded my expectations.
I first tried iBiz but was not much impressed – it had too much focus on billing your time to different clients which was ver far from my purpose of time-tracking. Mac does not have Microsoft Outlook but Mac has many excellent time-tracking applications. But then over a year ago I switched from PC to Mac and things got much more interesting. Eventually I got it to work, but it was taking too much time and effort. I used to have a personal time-tracking system based on Journal in Microsoft Outlook.
