This Non-Profit Harnessed Granular Time Tracking With Clockify
“Clockify goes from being user-friendly to being cost-effective. It has aesthetic appeal.”
– Cynthia Murphy
Business development expert Cynthia Murphy is the Vice President of the Assuaged Foundation — an educational platform that seeks to address chronic diseases worldwide with plant-based solutions.
To manage her busy workdays, Cynthia knew she needed a time tracking solution — but finding the right app was tough:
“We invested in 3 different software, and in one, there were a lot of tech mishaps. Another solution was way too complicated and not user-friendly. And then another solution that we ended up using for one year was very expensive.”
Ultimately, Clockify turned out to be the best solution for Cynthia and her team. We had a chat with her to find out why.
How does Clockify help Cynthia and her team?
As Cynthia mentioned, her foundation couldn’t make a positive impact if it wasted a lot of time:
“There’s no other way to handle all of these things without having good time management.”
Let’s see exactly how Clockify made a positive impact on Cynthia’s work.
Benefit #1: Easier time tracking
Cynthia says she loves the Clockify timer, both for herself and for the organization, including the foundation’s students.
She realized that a timer is all she needed, and that many universities, unfortunately, still don’t offer time-tracking tools to their students. That’s also the reason why she insisted that their students must have one.
“I love the timer. It is excellent, and makes it so easy for students — they can go in and just hit the timer.”
While she praises the timer, Cynthia adds that the manual entries are also something she finds useful and that she wishes she had such a tool during her studies.
Benefit #2: Better daily organization
Here’s what also makes life easier for Cynthia and her students — organizing time entries through tags:
“I love the ability to organize and to accentuate what you are dedicating your time to. Students have their onboarding, they have the blogs, and they see where they are spending more of their time.”
With tags, you can also filter your time entries by your chosen tag, which can be a project, task, or team member. Cynthia uses this to categorize work for each student.
As a result, she can quickly see who handled what task, when they worked on something, and how long it took. Any inefficiencies become apparent quickly.
Benefit #3: Increased focus:
Another thing Cynthia achieved with Clockify is improved focus:
“Before, I wasn’t really sure where to focus. I think when you identify what your focal point should be, then you can really expand into the horizons and get those concepts of time management.”
She adds that she would recommend Clockify to everyone struggling with focus and engaging in deep work.
