prima:Time | BLOG

Hello Time:trackers! We would like to explain to you, why we chose the name prima:Time and what message our logo conveys. That and more awaits you right down below, so keep on reading :-) prima:Time? We decided to change the brand name for a very simple reasons. The word ERP in our name could be misleading in terms of with what we’re actually working with – time. Our Users use the app to be more effective at what they do and to increase their productivity. The very next reason is that the abbreviation"ERP" is mainly used by companies that develop huge software programs. We kept the first word prima , but changed ERP to Time . The prima:Time  Logo  Since we were already changing our name, it was necessary to refresh our logo as well. We chose a more minimalistic design - using two red dots that were put in between the words prima and Time.

Time Management in the eyes of the  prima TEAM In the 21st century the previously universally accepted equation "time = money" got serious cracks. It is not possible to earn, save, borrow or steal time. It is difficult to measure the value of time and, therefore, proper time management becomes the alpha and omega of not only managers, but for everyone who wants to achieve something in life – as an example, managing your work and taking care of your family at the same time.  If you are also thinking about how to invest your time properly, try reading our article. We have a couple of reflections about the most common mistakes people make when managing the most valuable thing they have: their time.

A survey conducted by America Online and Salary.com found out that the average worker in the US devotes around two hours of the working day to non-productive activities. This means around 10 hours per week. How do you feel about it? Despite all the effort, getting up early, meeting tight deadlines, a quarter of your hard-earned money disappears down the drain without you even noticing. A year has 52 weeks, so the total is 520 hours per year. This corresponds to more than three weeks of work. If you are a manager you most likely know the hourly cost of an employee and if you do the math... You would better be sitting.

We have picked three different methods by which you can determine a price for your work. Unfortunately, there is no universal solution for it. It depends on the person and on a series of circumstances. However, we think this will help you find the best method for you:

Usually it only takes the mere mention of a time tracking program for most employees to cringe and start protesting. It may or may not be because of bad experiences in the past, but most people just don’t like big changes and are wary of something new, especially when it involves some kind of “control”. Usually, these fears and doubts are not correct and at the end, the outcome is positive; with time tracking software, this is the case.

When you work for your clients on a daily basis, either directly by the hour or indirectly by the fixed price for a project (which more or less reflects your time anyway), tracking your time is basically a must.

We have collected the best practices from our users and our own experiences, and put it into this article.

The worst disease of modern society is „Leave it for tomorrow“, or also known as Procrastination. It is very infectious and these days it has started to be widespread, almost at an epidemic level. S ome scientists say it should be called a pandemic.

The expected benefits should be the expansion of your portfolio, improvement of your brand or gaining valuable experience you can add to your CV.
