Xero time tracking, automated – but private

Start/stop timers are inefficient because they’re forgotten as soon as you really focus on the task at hand. Starting and stopping timers is a task in and of itself, not to mention the distractions and mental load it causes. On top of that, quick emails and other tasks that pop up while the timer is running are rarely recorded.

Project planning and budgeting requires insight into past project profitability. The quality of this insight also determines whether or not you can stay on the budget and deliver on time. Automatic time tracking dramatically improves the quality of data not only for quoting and invoicing, but also for future project planning.
