Hi there, up until now I used beancount for my personal finances. I might switch careers and start freelancing. I'm currently evaluating how to manage my time tracking.
Beancount seems like a good pick as it is flexible and the concept of lots (or rather using time as a commodity) lets you track time, too. An example is the section in the docs about vacation hours: https://beancount.github.io/docs/command_line_accounting_cookbook.html#vacation-hours That being said, here is what I'd like to achieve: 1. I'd like to track time (both billable, and non-billable) spent on a project on a per project basis. 2. When I'm done with the project I'd like to create some sort of time sheet that lists the billable hours and what I worked on (using the narration field). 3. Finally, I'd like to book the income against the time spent somehow, if that is possible. My goal is to see how profitable I was. Especially, taking non-billable hours into account. I have some questions: - Has anyone done something similar? I'd love to hear experiences and best-practices. - Which accounts should I book the time against? - How could I create a PDF time sheet? - How can I book the time against the income? I'm looking forward to any input. Have a great day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
