I have an odd situation. I worked my tail off last month but had to be out unexpectedly due to a car accident and minor illness. My billing is not really great for last month and I’ve noticed that scrambling sometimes result in not accounting for all my time and having a seemingly slow month. Does this happen to anyone else?

I started using a stopwatch type timer and it really helped reclaim time. If I don’t use it my time drops and I think it is bc I am essentially writing myself off

You have multiple timers for each matter so as soon as you turn or within 6 minutes you switch timers…I could NOT bill accurately without my timers

This definitely happens to me. When I'm scrambling, I capture much less time. But as others have said, you just have to religiously use timers.
