As a freelancer, one of the most important things you can do is keep track of your time. Not only does this help you stay organized, but it also allows you to submit accurate invoices to your clients.

Fortunately, UpWork makes it easy to track your time with their built-in time tracker. In this article, we’ll show you how to turn on the UpWork time tracker so that you can start tracking your time today.

First, log in to your UpWork account and click on the “Settings” tab at the top of the page. Then, click on the “Tracking” sub-tab.

On this page, you’ll see an option to “Enable auto-tracking”. Check this box and then click on the “Save changes” button at the bottom of the page.

Now that you’ve enabled auto-tracking, every time you work on an UpWork project, a timer will start automatically. You can view your tracked time by clicking on the “Reports” tab and then selecting “Time tracked” from the drop-down menu.

On this page, you can see a summary of all the time you’ve tracked on UpWork projects. You can also generate detailed reports that show exactly how much time you’ve spent on each project.
