Warren is the owner of Warren Laine-Naida Digital Consulting, a consultancy that helps small business manage their online tools. As an owner, he has many different responsibilities and he wanted to track them without putting too much effort into it.

As a remote worker, it’s very easy to lose focus and get distracted by the things one needs to do around the house. “Every working day is typically about 7 hours of billable work, but if I take an hour lunch, walk the dog twice in the middle of the day, try to start laundry, etc… I found that I’m spending nearly 11 hours just to get my 7 hours of billable in to ‘call it a day’.”

These tasks kept her from being focused and getting her work done. Furthermore, she had to hand in a timesheet for her work and provide her boss with the number of hours she worked for different clients “which was more like a random guesstimation.”
