# Daily Time Tracking Drawer

Make Time Tracking easier, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently.

The Timer feature enables the tracking of daily **Time Tracking**, linking them to specific tasks. A timer can be started on any task to accurately record the time spent.

This functionality supports effective management and monitoring of daily productivity, helping to ensure tasks are completed efficiently.

For days with assigned Work Plans, **Time Tracking** are automatically created with the planned hours (gray text), and their associated timers are displayed in the list.

Once you are done, you can stop the timer by clicking the green timer button on the project or the task row.

> **Info:** The timer is just a tool to help you track your time, it won't fill out the **Time Tracking** for you automatically. After you stopped the timer, you still need to manually fill in your hour for that **Time Tracking**.
