Card Table work often starts as a planning note, handoff, or prioritization move, but the time record needs a stronger anchor. Track hours on the Basecamp to-do that produced the work, with the project, date, duration, and a short note clear enough for review. The card gives context; the to-do gives the entry a stable place in project reports.
Use this workflow when a card points to tracked project work, internal review, or any task that later needs a per-to-do total. The person doing the work starts a timer from the to-do or enters manual time after finishing. The entry should stay attached to the same work item even if the card's planning context changes during review.
A complete entry carries the Basecamp project, to-do, date, duration, person, and a plain note. For Card Table work, add the card context in the note only when it explains the task reviewed. A note that names the finished outcome gives a reviewer more value than a generic label, because it ties the minutes to a concrete work item.
Billing status needs the same discipline. Set billing for the Basecamp project as hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable, then use task-level non-billable marking or custom task rates for exceptions. A per-entry note about billing is not enough for invoice review, because reports need the billable classification to follow the tracked task from setup to output.
Card Table work needs a path back to the to-do that owns the deliverable. Start the timer from that to-do when the card represents active work. Use manual entry for short follow-up, retroactive logging, or work completed away from the browser, then choose the same to-do and write a note that explains the card context.
Broad project-level blocks create the biggest review problem. A broad Card Table label hides which to-do consumed the time, whether the task was open or completed, and whether a billable exception applies. Keep the total on the to-do and let the note carry the Card Table detail. That structure also makes per-to-do totals easier to compare during review.
A one-off logging tool is enough for a small correction, a single contractor update, or a short internal review. It works when one person knows the Basecamp to-do, duration, date, and note, and no one needs a recurring approval trail, locked period, budget alert, or billing handoff after the entry is saved.
Everhour turns those Basecamp entries into durable records by routing tracked time through approvals, locked periods, reports, budgets, and billing or payroll review. Admins can see active timers and current project progress, then review project, member, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and amount fields before the hours leave the project workflow.

Use the card as the work cue and the Basecamp to-do as the time anchor. The entry should carry the to-do, project, date, duration, person, and a short note. If the card title is the clearest review clue, put that detail in the note while keeping the logged time attached to the to-do.
Start the timer from the to-do that represents the work being done. A Card Table card can guide the work, and the time record still needs the to-do-level trail that reviewers can group by project, list, task ID, and task status. Manual entry fits after-the-fact work, short interruptions, or time worked away from the browser.
Reviewable records show the project, list, to-do, person, date, duration, and note. The note should describe the outcome in plain work language, with card context only when it clarifies the task. Billing treatment should come from the project setup or task exception, because a note alone does not create reliable billable and non-billable totals.
Keep the time attached to the same to-do, then mark the task exception in the billing setup when the work should stay out of billable totals. Work that stays outside the billable scope still needs duration and notes so managers can see effort without sending that time to the invoice.
Logging one broad project entry for several cards breaks the trail. The total no longer shows which to-do absorbed the work, and reviewers lose task status, list, and exception context. Split time by the to-do that produced each result, even when several results started from the same Card Table review.
Everhour Resource Planning uses visual timelines with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, and scheduled time off so managers compare planned work with actual tracked time from Basecamp projects. That view gives Card Table-driven work a capacity trail managers can use during planning.
Everhour Timesheets let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and submitted or approved entries are locked from regular member edits unless withdrawn or rejected. Admins can also lock completed periods, which keeps Basecamp time stable before billing, payroll review, or reporting.
Connect Basecamp work to Everhour Resource Planning, then compare planned capacity with actual tracked time across member and project timelines. Keep staffing decisions grounded in availability, scheduled time off, and realistic workloads.
