Everyone seems to be looking for ways to cut the fat and work lean, to maximize profit.Today’s mini-lesson is all about doing just that!

By getting a handle on how you and your staff are actually using your time, you will learn what your true productivity level is when it comes to billable time (or income generating activities if you don’t bill on an hourly basis), and how you can prioritize what you do based on how it affects the bottom line.

The best way to do that is by tracking your time – especially billable time.
