Q2. How often do you forget to track time while working?

Rarely (once a month or less)

Sometimes (a few times a week)

Q3. How many billable hours per week do you think you lose to poor time tracking?

0–1 hours

A spreadsheet / notes app

Moderately — I know I'm losing money

A lot — it genuinely affects my income
