To understand this Step, please take a moment considering why anyone would need to track his or her time in business in the first place. It would be fair enough to say that we track time for tasks we do. In their turn, tasks are the building blocks of projects we do to have our business up and running. And one more thing: there is hardly any use in a project if we have no customer for it. Thus, we have arrived at the point that the customer is where the beginning is.
To ensure you properly track time for tasks you do to complete projects for your customers Easy Time Tracking requires that you provide two more things to go with a task you are going to track time for, that is the customer and the project the task belongs to. While it may complicate things for some people, it is a well thought-out solution, on second thoughts. It is all about putting things in order. Isn’t that a good thing to do?
