Everyone has a system. Here’s mine: http://timetrack.cognition.ca/

It doesn’t matter how good you are, or how many hours you work – if you don’t bill for it, you ain’t gonna get paid. Now I’ve put together a little tool that will allow you to keep track of how you’re spending your time (and BILL for it, if that’s your thing) – no matter where you are, or what you’re doing. 

It’s a Twitter app, you see. So you can talk to it from:

• A webpage
• An instant-messaging client, or
• Your phone (via text-messaging)

You don’t even have to set up an account first – just follow http://twitter.com/timetrack, wait a minute or two for the bot to start following you back, and then send simple messages like this:

d timetrack start washingfloors
d timetrack stop washingfloors

If you match up the start and stop commands, the bot will total up the time for you. (Don’t worry, we’ll give you the exact times of every action regardless, so you can clean things up later if you forget something.)

Now, here’s my question for you – what sort of reports and exports would you like to see? Here are a few I’m considering:

• SalesForce.com export
• Blinksale (Invoicing) data
• CSV / Excel spreadsheet data
• XML / JSON
• Quickbooks payroll data

What have I missed?
