It might be impossible to place value on it. So why try? Why do timesheets? Surely not to validate worth (because timesheets simply can\u2019t do that). The real reason is to inform decisions and streamline processes and workflow. When time is tracked, it can help guide how to think about monetary value. And more importantly, perhaps, it can help deepen understanding. With greater knowledge, better choices can be made. It\u2019s easy to see that a good client might require less time because their brief is better; because they work collaboratively and support the creative process in a more progressive way; or because a good client values good design and is willing and able to pay more for that power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a creative person running a business, the value in tracking time and projects with an appropriate tool becomes obvious. Less time is spent on administrative tasks so there\u2019s more time to stay creative. And at the end of the day \u2014 for a designer \u2014 creating is the best possible place to spend time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It feels so good to solve a problem with a brilliant design concept.
