| David M July 19, 2011 - 7:27 pm Great tool list, but i've always found the problem to be jumping between systems when tracking everything. At one point I was managing CRM, projects, time tracking, and invoicing through separate apps, and the lack of integration was a headache and a half. Inefficient workflows, just an overall mess!
Just an FYI, I've found it much more useful to use an integrated system that lets me manage everything I'm doing at once, it makes a great difference when it comes to workflow efficiency and overall organization. Using WORKetc right now, which allows me to manage all contacts, leads, projects, timesheets, toDos, calendars, invoices, and other stuff in one web based app. People, it makes the difference to have everything you need in one system! IE managing the entire client lifecycle through one system has been a huge added benefit.

It helps with the less appealing aspects of freelancing like invoicing and keeping track of time. It's a useful application, with a user-friendly interface. | | Happy guy April 21, 2011 - 12:49 pm Track my people is recommended by me... : ) | | Gunjack April 21, 2011 - 10:23 am Using time tools is essential for freelancers, every freelancer should use any of time tracking softwares mentioned above | | Tom Beek April 20, 2011 - 4:25 pm Klok is a good Clock : ) | |
