Use this page when you need a usable timesheet for creative work organized in Asana projects. The practical goal is a clear weekly record by person, project, task, date, and work type. Designers, writers, editors, producers, and account managers should be able to log the hours they actually spent without turning the timesheet into a separate project plan.
A good creative timesheet separates client work, internal work, review time, revisions, and admin time. It also preserves the task context, because a line that says `Design, 6 hours` rarely explains enough. A better record ties the entry to the Asana task, the project, the date worked, and whether the time belongs in billing, payroll review, budget review, or internal reporting.
The required fields are straightforward: team member, date, project, task, duration, description, and billable status when client billing applies. For creative teams, the description matters because the same task can include concepting, production, revision, review, or final file prep. Short notes keep the entry useful without asking people to write a status report.
A sample line can read: `March 5, 2026, Brand refresh, Homepage hero layout, 2.5 hours, revision pass after stakeholder review, billable`. That line gives a manager enough context to approve the time, a producer enough detail to compare scope against the project plan, and a billing owner enough information to explain the work if the client asks.
Creative teams lose accuracy when they treat revisions as invisible cleanup. Revision rounds, feedback implementation, and final exports should be tracked against the task that caused the work, or against a dedicated revision task if the project uses that structure. This keeps the timesheet connected to the work that actually consumed capacity.
Approval timing also matters. Weekly review works better than end-of-month cleanup because producers and leads still remember whether a time entry belongs to a client task, an internal critique, a sales asset, or non-billable rework. Locking approved periods protects the record after review and reduces last-minute changes before invoicing, payroll review, or budget reporting.
A one-off timesheet is enough when you need to collect hours for one project, one week, or one contractor. It gives you a working record, especially when the team is small and the billing handoff is manual. It stops being enough when approvals, recurring client work, budget checks, or rate-based reporting become part of the process.
Everhour fits the managed workflow when creative hours need to stay connected to Asana tasks over time. Team members can use timers or manual entries, admins can review timesheets, lock approved periods, set reminders, and apply timer rules, and the approved time can feed reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review without rebuilding the record later.

A creative timesheet should include the person, date, project, task, duration, short work note, and billable status when the work affects client billing. Creative notes should identify the type of work, such as concept, design production, revision, review, or final delivery. The task link gives the entry context that a generic time category cannot provide.
Designers and writers should log revision time against the task that received the feedback or against a specific revision task if the project uses one. The entry should name the revision round or feedback source in plain language. This prevents revision work from disappearing into vague production totals and helps managers compare scoped work with actual effort.
Creative review meetings belong on the timesheet when they support the project and the team wants a complete view of labor. The billable status depends on the client agreement or internal policy. A useful entry names the meeting purpose, such as concept review, copy review, or production handoff, so the time does not look like unexplained overhead.
Creative leads should review timesheets at least weekly. Weekly approval catches missing task links, vague notes, unusually high daily totals, and time assigned to the wrong project while the work is still fresh. Month-end review creates more corrections because people forget which revision, meeting, or file delivery caused the time entry.
The most common mistake is tracking time only by broad role or phase. Entries such as `Design, 8 hours` do not show which deliverable moved forward, which revision consumed time, or which client budget absorbed the work. Task-level records with short descriptions create a cleaner trail for approvals, billing review, and future project estimates.
Everhour Time Tracking lets team members start timers or add manual entries from Asana tasks and projects, then routes those hours into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules to keep the weekly record ready for review.
Everhour connects tracked Asana task time to project budget reporting, including hourly-rate, fixed-fee, or non-billable budget views. Admins can set budget alert thresholds at any percentage, review billable versus non-billable hours, and export detailed reports for spreadsheet review.
Track approved creative hours from Asana tasks into timesheets, reports, budgets, and invoices. Everhour gives teams one workflow for review-ready time records and cleaner billing handoff.
