Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use a timer when you are actively working on a specific Asana task and want the time entry to match the work record. The useful outcome is a dated entry tied to the task, project, person, and description, not just a running total of hours. That record supports review later when a manager checks progress, prepares a report, or decides which time belongs on a client invoice.
Before starting, confirm the task represents the work you are about to do. A broad task such as "client updates" creates vague records when several different deliverables sit inside it. A task such as "Draft March onboarding email" gives the time entry a clear owner, project context, and billing purpose. Stop the timer when the work changes, then start a new timer on the next task.
A good timer workflow keeps task structure and time structure aligned. The task gives the work a name, assignee, status, project, tags, and custom field context. The time entry adds duration, work date, user, description, and billable status when that distinction applies. Together, those fields turn daily activity into records that can be grouped by project, task, person, category, or date.
Descriptions matter most when several entries land on the same task. "Design review" tells a reviewer less than "Reviewed homepage comments and marked final copy changes." Keep the description short, but include the action completed. A reviewer should understand why the time belongs to that task without opening a separate chat thread or asking the employee to reconstruct the day.
The common mistake is leaving a timer running after switching work. One timer that covers three tasks creates cleanup work and weakens reports because the final duration no longer matches the actual task. Stop the timer before meetings, admin work, client calls, or another deliverable interrupts the original task. Add a separate entry for the interruption if it needs to be tracked.
Another mistake is using timers only for billable work. Non-billable project time still affects cost, capacity, estimates, and profitability review. Marking the correct billable status keeps client invoices clean without erasing internal effort. A team that records only invoiceable time sees revenue, but misses the hours spent on revisions, coordination, onboarding, and support.
A single timer is enough when you need to capture one task, one work session, or one short project check. That record should still include the right task, date, duration, and description. Small teams can use that level of tracking for a simple weekly review when the stakes are low and no approval, budget, or billing handoff is required.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when time feeds reports, budgets, payroll review, or client billing. Everhour adds embedded Asana controls, synced task context, timesheets, budget alerts, and exportable reports so tracked time becomes a durable record. Teams can review approved hours, separate billable from non-billable work, and hand clean data to finance without rebuilding the week manually.

Start the timer on the specific Asana task that represents the work session. The task connection keeps the entry attached to the project, assignee, and work context that reviewers need later. Broad project-level tracking is weaker when several deliverables, people, or billing categories share the same project.
Stop the timer as soon as the work changes. Meetings, admin tasks, client calls, and task switching need separate entries when they matter for reporting or billing. One long timer across unrelated work produces inaccurate task totals and creates correction work during approval.
Billable status separates time that belongs on a client invoice from time that should stay in internal reports. The distinction protects invoices from non-billable work while keeping the full cost of the project visible. Do not delete non-billable hours just because the client should not pay for them.
A timer description should name the action completed in one clear phrase or sentence. Use descriptions such as "Reviewed homepage comments and updated final copy" instead of vague labels like "updates." Clear descriptions help managers approve time and help billing teams explain entries if a client asks.
A timer left running too long overstates the task duration and weakens project reports. Correct the entry before submitting the period for review. The corrected record should match the actual work date, task, duration, and description so the weekly timesheet stays defensible.
Everhour Reporting turns Asana-linked time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports. Teams can review task, project, member, billable time, cost, invoice status, and budget data without pulling timer records into a separate spreadsheet first.
Everhour embeds tracking controls inside Asana and syncs project names, task titles, custom fields, and tags into the reporting layer. Managers can review time by the same work structure the team already uses, then export reports when finance or clients need a record.
Start timers on Asana tasks, then let Everhour Reporting group, filter, export, and schedule the tracked records for cleaner approvals, billing review, and project visibility.
