Has anyone had any success using a project management platform to manage assignments and, ultimately, better manage your time? If so, which ones?

I calendar deadlines for each component of a project, rather than just the final deadline.

Additionally when reviewing my weekly calendar and each daily deadline, I’ll then explicitly block out time to complete each task. I need the structure to stay on task.

How do you assess your client time as billable or non-billable? We are currently reviewing our time card process and want to better establish groundwork for differentiating between the two. Further to that, do you have your time members log their time and categorize it as Billable/Non-Billable upon submission? or does the Account Manager review submitted time cards and assign each based on the work being logged?

Thoughts: Managers and senior managers should intervene when project folks starts working more than 8 hours. It's sad that initially everybody talks about 8 hours work goal but employee forced or end up working more than 10 hours. Company is not asking you to work more than 8 hours, it's the pressure from peers and seniors and managers who do "a gentle request" to finish a task asap.
Also managers, Please teach new techies to hold the horses and not put there peer in pressure.
