I've recently started using Outlook Journal to automatically track the time I
spend on Word files for various contacts. Problem is that I will often be
working on two or three open files simultaneously for the same client, and
Journal then records overlapping entries for those files.
But for billing purposes, I need to record the overall time during which I
was working on the group of files (eg 90 minutes total), not the sum of the
(overlapping) time spent on each individual open file (maybe 15 minutes on
one of them, 30 minutes on another and 80 minutes on the main file, making a
total of 125 minutes).
I can create a single Journal entry to which I copy all of a particular
contact's files for the overall job which I then manually switch on and off,
but is there perhaps some way I could get automatic tracking of that entry
each time there's work on one or more of the files it contains? Or can anyone
suggests a different kind of work-around?
Thank in advance for any advice.
