4 Time Tracking Tips That Will Double Your
Productivity

• With great power, comes great responsibility.
  This dogma of freelancing summarizes what its
  all about freelancers have comparably high
  power over their time, but also they are fully
  responsible for being productive, which is
  reflected in their next months paycheck.
• I absolutely know one inconvenient truth about
  tips. Theyre all useless. Unless you try these
  tips on your daily routines. Here are four tips
  that have proven to be highly effective for many
  of the freelancer generation.

4
Get organized 

• Many ingenious ideas disappear even before you
  start utilizing them. They get lost in chunks of
  papers and emails. The simplest way to avoid that
  is having a place where you put all your notes.
  Evernote can be an option as it offers intuitive
  software for numerous platforms (mobile, web, PC,
  Mac). If you want something simpler, try Google
  Keep, which is integrated with other Google
  services. There are many perfect and different
  tools in the market, just find the best tool for
  your business.

5
Track and analyze your work

• Have you ever heard about person who likes time
  tracking? Yes, I have. Time tracking is a pain in
  the butt until you get into the habit. Get a time
  tracker app on your smartphone so that you could
  track your hours on the go. Time tracker
  app Mobile Worker is perfect for freelancers to
  manage different projects and track billable and
  non-billable hours. Track everything related to
  work meetings, lunches, travels, etc. Then take
  the data and see if you can be more effective
  here or there, make the changes, and repeat the
  same again. Eventually you will find how to earn
  more in the same time.

6
Be a realist

• Face the fact that you will not be able to accept
  all the project offers. Some projects need to be
  turned down so that you could accept more
  interesting ones. Some projects time increases
  twice. Experts recommend having a fourth of your
  regular schedule free so that you could have some
  wiggle room and be prepared for unexpected twists
  of life (such as illness). Also, most likely you
  want to keep doing such a job for a while, so
  burning yourself out in a month or two is
  shortsighted.

7
Set regular work hours

• Separating work and relaxation is key to a
  balanced life. If you need to take work back home
  with you, you are doing it wrong. If you try to
  convince yourself that youre alright with doing
  some work after the actual work hours (which you
  have set by yourself, by the way) are over, its
  even worse. This will keep you in work mode all
  the time. Even when you will be resting, it wont
  be as relaxing as it should be. Therefore, set a
  regular schedule for yourself. Being in a routine
  is a good thing in this case.
• Try to use these key tips every day and you will
  be able to keep productivity levels high.
  Productivity is the key of growing incomes.
  Productivity helps to have right work- life
  balance. Never-ending workday is damaging health,
  relationships and overall happiness. It is time
  to get back to work!
