Online Time Tracker

Why a simple timer beats no timer

The single highest-leverage habit for any knowledge worker is tracking where their hours actually go. Most people overestimate their "deep work" time by 2 to 4x. Even an imperfect timer resets that intuition.

For freelancers, the math is even simpler: every untracked hour is an unbilled hour. A 20% gap between hours-worked and hours-billed is common, sometimes higher for solo operators juggling multiple clients. Closing that gap is often a 15% to 25% effective rate increase, with no negotiation required.
