Built for this kind of work.
Understand where time goes across a project by recording the task alongside every work interval. This project timesheet is designed for activity-level review rather than a single undifferentiated weekly total. Use stable task names or project codes so entries can later be grouped without guessing what different descriptions mean. Record administration, revisions and coordination as their own tasks when those activities matter to the project. The sheet records time, not whether a task is billable or whether the project is on budget. Agree the level of detail with the reviewer first, then keep descriptions concise enough that the record remains quick to maintain.
What’s in the template
The blank form includes 16 entry rows and space to identify the person or team, reporting period and reviewer. Add rows in the editable files when your reporting period needs more detail.
How to use it
- Identify the project and reporting period.
- Agree a short set of task names or codes.
- Record each work interval against its task.
- Review task descriptions and total hours before sharing.
Keep the record useful
- Use the same name for the same task.
- Separate coordination from delivery when useful.
- Do not infer billability from a project code alone.
These are recordkeeping tools, not payroll or legal advice. Confirm your own break, overtime, approval and billing rules. Do not include patient details, children's personal information or other sensitive information in general work notes.
Using it in Google Sheets
Download the Excel file, upload it to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. Check the imported formulas and time formats with a sample entry before relying on totals. For shared teams, set access deliberately and keep a clean master copy.
