Project-based time cards suck, but people are pretty strict about them. What about a recurring calendar reminder at the end of the day?
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was going to put a calendar reminder for the due date, but that could also work.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
How about this? You can't leave at the end of the day until your hours are accounted for. Think of it as your get out of work free card.

P-C, here's what you can do that makes things a bit less painless:
do you have evernote? You can email notes into evernote and send them to a particular notebook.
1. Create a notebook: PAYHOURS
2. every day email a note to PAYHOURS which is timestamped
3. then open the notebook every 2 or 4 weeks and write down what you did.

I have student workers, and I make them punch in and punch out, even though it is on a computer. If they don't remember or do anything by the end of the week, they don't get paid, but I found that having them punch in and out would work. Could you also take the time every time you switch projects and put it in the computer?

We are technically supposed to enter our hours every day. Time cards are certified every week.
...I will not necessarily miss this job.

I'm going to try recording my hours each day somewhere to make it easy when it comes due. Thanks for the suggestions!
Luckily, I was able to get this timecard sorted out. Ironically, it was one of the easier timecards since half it was vacation.

P-C, if you are on an iphone, have evernote or dropbox, and have the Drafts app, I have an even easier solution for you to log your hours.

I am on Android, alas. Although I feel like there must be some sort of "Keep track of your hours" app to make things really simple.

Always Anti-fascist!
I hate my attendant timesheet. Every year there is more busywork on it. Because apparently frauds don't know their own initials. @@. But, as they say, all in the game.
