Clockify Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Forgetting to Start the Timer
❌ Incorrecto: Starting work without clicking the timer, then trying to remember hours más tarde.
✅ Derecha: Enable auto-start on the desktop app. Clockify’s desktop timer can be set to start automatically when your computer is active.
Mistake #2: Not Organizing Projects by Client
❌ Incorrecto: Creating projects without assigning them to clients, making reports messy.
✅ Derecha: Clockify allows you to categorize projects by adding clients. Always assign a client when creating a project for cleaner reports.
Mistake #3: Not Using Tags for Better Filtering
