I am a Master Gardener in Johnson County, Iowa and am responsible for keeping track of our county’s hours. Each quarter I am deluged with dozens of timekeeping sheets submitted by our wonderful members. These sheets contain their hours and I manually record them into a database I created. At the end of the year I run a couple reports that aggregate the hours.

I have created a website that allows members to submit their hours, but this process is still cumbersome and few MGs use the site.

Has anyone found ways to ease the time tracking burden?

My background is in software development and I have considered creating a website that *all* MGs could use for timekeeping, but I don't want to tackle this project if someone has already come up with a better solution.

Thanks!

Time companion or project companion.

I use Time Companion daily to track my project hours on my palm handheld, and sync to my access PC database.
There are many similar time keeping programs many of which are free or shareware.

Then people can input their own hours.
