4 reasons that keep track of time helpful

But the longer I continue to do it, the more I appreciate the importance of this process. That's why watch time is useful.

1. It helps you find things that time is wasted.
After a while you may realize that some projects are less profitable than others. For example, if you're a professional copywriter, you can earn a lot more, doing writing a post for your blog, than carrying out orders. If so, it is possible to adjust the prices of their services to compensate for the loss.

2. It helps to see their target.
Now I have a very specific purpose - to work four paid hours a day. I can easily look at your schedule and see whether close to the goal I am. If not, I understand that I must concentrate on finding new projects.

3. It helps to look at things more realistically.
As I said, my goal - four paid hours a day. Recently, I realized that in order to achieve my goal of earning much more time. In reality, administrative tasks, communication and other activities do not give focus exclusively at work, so I had to change the desired amount of income to match time available.

In addition, you may notice that you work a lot more or less than you would like.

The more information that you currently provide, the more accurate predictions will be able to do, for example, providing customers with the timing and costs of the project, which in turn leads to an increase in profitability. You can also see the works that require more of your time than they should.

Thus, although the tracking of time may seem to another task in your busy schedule and so, give this exercise a few months and see if it will improve your business.
