Keeping Your New Years Resolutions and Tracking Time
The dreaded aftermath of New Years resolutions. Yes, we all made them, but now that it's a few weeks past 1/1/2012 we're starting to realize that we're not at the gym every morning at 6am, nor are our plates piles with fruits and veggies at every meal, the eight glasses of water a day goal has been reduced to one water bottle, and all of that talk about getting out of the office to spend time doing things we enjoy is a distant memory. Well, we made an honest attempt but it seems like there has to be something else that can help refocus and recommit to our goals. I've got a suggestion for you: use a mobile time tracker.
There are many reasons to use a web-based time tracking application but one of the most predominant ones is managing your time more efficiently so you have more time to dedicate to actually doing your resolutions. Maybe your list looks nothing like the one above but whatever it is that you're resolving to improve upon, you will need a chunk of time to accomplish it.
With little more than your smart phone, cell phone, and a computer, you and your entire staff can clock in and clock out in real time with just a few clicks. Or, if you have no Android or iPhone, dialing a number and sending a text message is all it takes. Gone are the time clocks and timesheets of old. No more manual adding decimals and subtracting fractions of hours. No more stuffed file cabinets and shredding piles. Time tracking allows you to enter time, day, or week as many times a day as necessary and figures holidays and vacation times as well as automatic tracking and accruals of paid time off. And if overtime is an issue for your company, and when isn't it, time tracking software controls overages with proactive tools to monitor employees and make notifications before expensive overtime starts. It's also designed to send alerts to employees, managers, and accounting administrators via email, twitter, or text messaging.
Would custom fields help? Custom data fields are designed to provide categorized time to ease estimating jobs, invoicing, and overall administrative workload down the line. Then, custom reports provide data to make business decisions about your largest business expense: human resource allocation. And if the need arises, you can see a digital in/out board instantly, anywhere.
Is scheduling tying up your free time? Keep time tracking and employee scheduling simultaneously under control. Managers can set employee reminders and receive alerts based on employee attendance. It's easy to create schedules for specific times, events, or shifts. See who's working, what they're working on, and how long they've been working on it - all in real time.
You truly will find that so much of your time that was previously spent tracking, managing, and reporting your time can now be spent tackling those New Years resolutions. So, give a web-based time tracker a try and when 2013 rolls around you'll already be ahead of the game.
