He was struggling to juggle tasks and needed to ensure that he was billing as many hours as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution: using Timeular to maximize profitability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gordon started using Timeular with <a href=\"https:\/\/timeular.com\/blog\/time-blocking\/\">time blocks<\/a>. His days are always full of tasks and meetings, so he starts his day with a two-hour \u2018quiet time&#8217; block and a 30-minute break in between. He defines these as his &#8220;high-grade production hours&#8221; for the day. In the afternoon, he spends time getting through small tasks, responding to emails, and organizing upcoming work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has brought these tasks together on the 8 sides of his Timeular Tracker:&nbsp;Administrative, Business Development \/ Learning, Personal, Press Managed, Pro Bono \/ Trade, Production, Sales \/ Networking, and Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These are the different \u2018types&#8217; of time I spend each day.&#8221; Reviewing past data in the Timeular app allows Gordon to see what proportion of his time is spent on tasks that are billable and those that are important for the operational side of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The outcome: 107% happier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gordon has successfully increased the amount of billable hours that he is tracking and describes himself as being &#8220;107% happier.&#8221; He reviews his data to identify which tasks need more attention and those that should be delegated to other staff members to ensure the company maximizes its profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He attributes his consistent time tracking to the power of the physical reminder which is the <a href=\"https:\/\/timeular.com\/tracker\/\">time management cube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-timeular-altar-lg-block skunkwork with-inset\"><div class=\"lead\"><h2 class=\"title\">Start tracking with ease<\/h2><p class=\"lg description\">Increase profitability and bill accurately with effortless time tracking.
