Are you billing like a girl?

Post by DELG » Tue Jul 01, 2014 12:59 pm

If you read a bunch of emails after you get home, do you forget to bill for it? If you stop by another associate's office to get advice on the matter, do you leave it off? Are you letting little .1s and .2s disappear?

Back in the day when I kept track of my time, I kept a spreadsheet with all of my time for the week and would just note in one column what time I started so I could add up the hours when I finished.
