I like the tracking of all of my day. I dislike when I say to my friends or family it will take .5 hours tops to get there than let’s shoot for 2.25 there
Amen to that.
I remember in college a dude from 1 of the big 4 spoke to us. When a student asked what he dislikes about his job, he said tracking his time. I totally get it now.
That was the #1 upgrade for me surprisingly. No more having to delay wrapping up my day at the end of week by having to complete my timesheet for the whole week. For tax folks it tends to be way more tedious if you're working on multiple engagements across several clients.
Took me months to realize that there wasn't actually anything I was forgetting to do end of day Friday 🤣
Then just eat them
It’s an annoyance we all deal with unfortunately. If the program you use has a timer, that is one thing that can make your life a lot easier. For over a decade I used to write all my time in a notebook and then enter it every few days or every week, and it felt painful to do that.
We have an app at EY that you can track your time with, add descriptions, pick the engagement code, and then save it. Then at the end of the week (or whenever you want) you can auto upload it to the time sheet and submit. Super easy.
It becomes even more challenging once you get promoted to manager as you end up with many more smaller units of time dealing with many more clients in the course of a day.
