Let's face it, whether you're a contractor or running a solo business, time is what you're really selling, regardless of the end product. It's a priority to keep everything on track, make sure your clients are happy, and, well, to make sure you're ready to take on what's coming next. But there's this tendency to 'guesstimate', or make an approximate judgement or rough calculation, when it comes to clocking your hours. That 'good enough' approach often isn't, and it can lead to a number of problems. So, let's have a chat about why it's so important to kick the habit of guessing your time and start tracking it down to the minute.

Why Contractors Should Prioritise Precise Time Tracking

• Undervaluing Your Work: Guessing lower than the actual time spent will result in undercharging, which leads to earnings slipping through your fingers.

• Imprecise Client Billing: Clients prefer clear, itemised bills. Inaccurate time tracking can lead to vague invoices, which can compromise client trust.

• Misjudging Productivity: Without precise time records, you may overestimate your efficiency, leading to overly ambitious and unfeasible work schedules.

• Difficulty in Future Planning: If you don't know how long tasks actually take, it becomes tricky to plan future projects accurately.
