Timeneye - https://www.timeneye.com/ Today I want to share with you a productivity tool I have been using to budget projects and track time. The level of detail available allows me to not only track time by client but to show by projects or tasks where that time is being spent. It is simple to use and I really appreciate the integrations with other tools I use (such as google extension and Asana). The other feature I like is the reporting for project summaries and invoicing. ...Best For: Timeneye is a complete time tracking software for both project managers and freelancers. Product Details: Timeneye is a simple and intelligent time-tracking tool, which is helping small/medium companies to track their team productivity levels, but it is also perfect for freelancers.

A little background: My husband and I both run our own companies and work from home, have done so for many years. We have 4 children ages 8, 10, 12, 17. Like many of you, we have been trying to figure out this concept of "new normal" and how that looks for us. Learning technology to support the kids education, creating a schedule that allows everyone to get their essential work done, and keeping our sanity are just a few of the challenges. I would say that my biggest takeaway... this week has been learning to do life together again. Most of us are now starting our day together with physical activity (a previously solo activity but now an opportunity for us to connect over something other than school work). We have agreed as a family on blocks of work time where the expectation is productivity - kids their school assignments and us meeting our clients' needs. We have had more family game nights, have gathered around the piano/guitar for sing-a-longs and shared extra cuddles to keep us sane - some days are better than others, I mean, lets be real, none of us received training on how to survive our current situation, we are allowed to have strong feelings about it all. I hope that through communities like the one we are building here we will be able to lean on, learn from and lift up one another as we grow through this adversity. One advantage of having the kids around more is the opportunity to teach them life skills like filing (my pile of "to-be-filed" documents that has gathered over the past 6 months has now vanished thanks to kiddo number 2) and creating social media content (today's artwork is kiddo number 3's art assignment from yesterday, lol). I will continue to find ways to do life together with my family while we are in close quarters and know that the bonds we are strengthening through this will serve us well no matter what happens next. I invite you to share in the comments a lesson learned or a takeaway from this week to inspire, encourage, or just to make us laugh a little as we recognize the good that is still around us.
