How Do I Automatically Track Time in UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:41 am

There are a few different ways that you can automatically track time in UpWork. You can use the built-in timer, the UpWork desktop app, or a third-party time tracking tool.

The built-in timer is the simplest way to track time. To use it, just click the “Start Timer” button on your UpWork dashboard.

The timer will automatically start tracking your work time. You can then view your total work time for each day, week, or month by clicking the “View Timer” button.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using the Upwork time tracking feature, please be aware that it is not an accurate way to track time. The feature relies on an algorithm that is not able to accurately track how much time you spend working on a project. In addition, the feature does not take into account breaks or other interruptions in your work. We recommend that you do not use this feature and instead use a more accurate time tracking method.

If you want more control over your time tracking, you can use the UpWork desktop app. This app lets you start and stop the timer manually, as well as view your total work time for each day, week, or month. You can also set up the app to automatically track your work time based on certain criteria, such as when you’re using specific applications or websites.

Finally, there are a number of third-party time tracking tools that you can use with UpWork. These tools typically offer more features and options than the built-in timer, and can be customized to fit your specific needs. Some popular time tracking tools include Toggl, RescueTime, and DeskTime.

No matter which method you choose, tracking your work time with UpWork is a simple and effective way to stay productive and efficient.
