Brilliant Editor Tracks Time and Increases Revenue
Time management is crucial to my business, because I charge by the hour, and until I found OfficeTime, I was truly winging it. I actually considered buying a chess clock to keep on my desk to try to keep some kind of track of my billable time. I’ve always told my clients that even when I am not sitting at my keyboard editing their books, I still carry their stories around in my head, mulling them over, and for that, I do not charge. But otherwise, I can now say that I am on the clock.
Subject: Features Aren’t Sexy
I believe great apps are not those that do everything. Great apps are the ones that do something well. And how do you define doing something well? It’s not always about power. It’s about being able to do the task with the minimum amount of friction. The more you have to think about using an app, the more you are distracted from doing the work you’ve set out to do.

3 Steps to Time Management that WORKS (at Work and in life!)
Here are a 3 time management tips to help you get out of the office and get into the rest of your life! #1. Remember that DONE is better than perfect. It’s SO easy to get hung up on edits and re-edits on anything we do. Believe me, as a developer, I can understand that. And while some things demand and necessitate perfection (like creating the app for our Time Tracker), the reality is that MOST things are a process, rather than a destination we arrive at. We’ve certainly seen that as our app and software has changed and developed over time.
Brilliant (and Busy) CEO uses OfficeTime to Track Time, Team and Project Development
OfficeTime is simply the best tool that I’ve found – and I love that it works on Macs and PCs, as our team uses both. It’s incredibly intuitive and easy to use, yet it’s not simplistic – meaning, it has all the functionality I need. I don’t use 100% of the functionality, but I’m happy to say I’ve never found myself needing something it didn’t do, nor scratching my head wondering why in the world certain features were there (as I sometimes do with other companies’ “bloatware”). It’s really just a fantastic combination of highly functional and really user-friendly. And Stephen Dodd, the CEO, has always been really easy to get a hold of when I’ve had questions – a real person supporting his software, how wonderful! My biggest takeaway? A real productivity tool for real businesses that have real needs, backed by a real person.
