Hey guys,

I'm curious how you go about logging hours for update work. I have been inserting it in Excel and then manually adding up the hours. Is there a better way to do this? Does anyone know of an excel equation for this? I am running into problems where I work a bit part of the day get a phone call later that day to add new information. It makes for a messy document I have seen that you can purchase something of the ilk online but not sure if its really necessary or worth it.

Any advice?

Excel works for me.
Alternatively you can use a service such as
Tick » Track time - Hit budgets

Thanks I'll look into that

I've used Toggl, but it isn't that good, I'm looking for a new one.

I use Paymo which is pretty good since they have a desktop client to log your hours and it also makes pretty charts with nice colours

Excels pretty easy to use. Just stick all the hours in a column, select all the rows and an empty row below it and press the ∑ button and all the numbers will be added together.

If you click on the cell that's been filled you should be able to see the code in the bar at the top.

But it doesn't have a timer.
