I'm a freelance designer and I need to start tracking my time more accurately for client billing. I've heard mixed things about various time tracking tools. Some people say they're super accurate while others complain about missed time or complicated interfaces. What time tracking tools have you found to be most reliable for actually capturing all your billable hours? I need something that's not too intrusive but still comprehensive.

I've tested most of the major time tracking tools for client work. Toggl Track is my top recommendation - it's accurate, easy to use, and has great reporting for billing. The browser extension and mobile app make it simple to track time no matter where you're working. I've been using it for freelance projects for years without issues.

As a designer, I need time tracking tools that work across different applications. Harvest has been perfect for me - it integrates with design tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, plus it handles invoicing and payments. The accuracy is excellent, and I love that I can track time directly from the tools I'm already using.

I use Clockify for my freelance writing work and it's been surprisingly accurate. The automatic time tracking feature is great for when I forget to start a timer - it detects what application I'm working in and suggests time entries. The free version is completely usable for solo freelancers, which is a big plus.

For accurate billing, I recommend TimeCamp. It has excellent project and task tracking, plus it can track computer activity to help you remember what you worked on. The reporting features are particularly good for creating detailed client invoices. I've found it captures about 95% of my billable time automatically.

I just bought a pair of wide-leg trousers that I love, but I’m honestly stumped on what kind of top to wear with them. Everything in my closet feels either too bulky or too fitted, and I can’t seem to get the balance right for a polished look.

I love wide leg trousers too. I found a tucked in slim knit or a cropped blouse balances the volume without feeling bulky.

I tried pairing them with a structured blazer over a slim tee and it helped a bit, but the lengths kept throwing me off and I felt like I was chasing a proportion.

I threw on a ribbed mock neck tucked in and added a belt. The line felt cleaner and the silhouette stood up better.

Do you wear heels or flats with them? Height changes how the leg reads.

I drifted into color for a sec, wore a pale top with the dark trousers and it read more streamlined, but it might be more luck than method.

I briefly tried a peplum top and it just looked off with the wide leg, so I dropped it and stuck to simple fitted or tucked.

Another quick try was a long cardigan worn open over a tucked in tank; the line stays long but not overwhelmed.
