Timeular

Ich nutze Timeular seit mehreren Jahren und bin jeden Tag begeistert, wie leicht die Zeiterfassung in meinen Workflow passt. Da ich für unterschiedliche Auftraggeber tätig bin, kann ich die einzelnen Projekte unkompliziert erfassen, monatlich auswerten und Ziele festlegen, um Projektzeiten nicht zu überschreiten.Die Auswertungen eignen sich auch gut als Zeitnachweis als Anlage zu meinen Rechnungen.

Ab und zu springen die Projekte bei manueller Zeiterfassung auf einer vorher gewähltes Projekt um. Das muss man ein bisschen im Blick behalten.

Pre-timeular I never quite knew where my time was going, and if asked to estimate how long a project would take, I would have nothing to go on. As a result, I would often end up overcommitted and overwhelmed. Post-timeular, I can see at a glance how my day or week has been spent, and can call up a report to give my supervisor estimates on the fly. Gone are the days of never having the answer. Now, I always have personal data at my fingertips!

It might take a while to get in the habit of flipping your Timeular as you go throughout your day, but I find it helps me transition between work blocks and focus in on what I am doing. You may also feel limited by only having 8 sides, so think hard about how you want to assign those. But once you've established categories that work for you and a rhythm, you are set! The only con is that the base is not rechargeable, so every once in a while you will need to purchase a coin battery and install it. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if future models could be rechargeable.
