I’ve been using a time tracker app on my ipod touch to track my time on individual jobs (someday I’ll upgrade to the actual grown-up version of the phone). Mostly I use it to track my time on the styles I am producing – but I’ve found it useful for the few contract jobs I’ve done.

It has room to write job name, cost per hour, notes (style, company etc.) All the information can be exported as an excel file.

Does anyone else use a system like this to track their hours? I wonder if it’s better to have the manual cards – where you can show the client without the fuss of exporting and printing.

I’d be very interested in suggestions for partnering with a contractor. Thanks for all the information, as always!!

If I were still active in the business, this is something I would be jumping on big time! Very useful information. this is something that could be useful to an in-house organization as well as a pattern contractor. I found myself reading this and mentally putting it to use at my old job, even though that ended before the turn of the century (just before).
