What AI time tracking apps can't do
AI time tracking apps, while they can track what web pages you have been on, or software which you have used, and can sync with your calendar, it can't be a mind reader, it doesn't know when you walk away from your desk to help a team member, or answer a phone call.
The best discipline you can develop is to be obsessive with tracking time, and be obsessive with having your team record their time, and recording it accurately.
What are the hacks for becoming obsessive?
Be disciplined
Record your time with diligence either online or on a piece of paper (preferably directly in your time tracking software)
Always record the start time for each new activity
Always set a definitive deadline for your tasks. This helps you to remember to record the completion time and the start of the next job. It also serves as a reminder to keep to the budgeted deadline.
Do not let other people distract you.
Put your phone on silent or DND.
Benefits of accurate time tracking
When your team accurately tracks their time it helps you:
Calculate pay role faster and more accurately
Forecast labour needs precisely
Ensure legal compliance
Save on excess labour costs
Figure out if you can afford to hire more people
Lower staff turnover and reduce burnout
Have accurate invoicing, and in doing so prevent revenue leakage
A better understanding of tracking profit and margin
Identify team members who are over-servicing their customers
Identify customers who are demanding to be over-serviced or who demand out-of-scope services
Keep costs down so you can re-invest in the business i.e. no loss of time from chasing staff, no downtime for delayed time recording or attendances with customer complaints.
Thinking about esafety - protecting your information
When testing products and downloading, please take note of where the program files are being stored. If you decide not to go with a particular application and then later want to delete it, it makes it much easier to check if you have deleted all associated parts of the downloaded program. We are aware some applications are pretty aggressive and will store their program in multiple places. This means that while you may think you have deleted it, you haven't.
Remember, if you are testing products such as ChatGPT, do not upload customer-specific information. Get advice from your IT specialist before uploading any IP or customer information.
