The weekly rhythm
- Track daily with timers or quick entries.
- Friday: review and submit the week.
- Monday: managers approve or send back.
- Approved weeks lock; billing works from approved time.
Making it stick
- Reduce friction: a menu bar timer beats a spreadsheet
- Keep the project list short and current
- Make approval quick: one queue with totals
