This Entrepreneur Simplified Project Prep With Clockify
“Clockify helps me see what to delegate, how long it takes to email, and eliminate things.”
– Jourdan Guyton
Entrepreneur and content expert Jourdan Guyton knows the hard work and dedication it takes to achieve the things we want in life.
With her busy schedule as the founder and CEO of a boutique production agency, Jourdan often found it difficult to manage her time and stay on top of obligations.
However, setting priorities and planning projects became easier once she discovered Clockify:
“Clockify helps me see what I really need to do — what I can delegate, how much it takes me to write an email, and it also helps me to eliminate things.”
How exactly has Clockify helped? We invited Jourdan to discuss that in more detail.
How Clockify helps Jourdan manage her time
Once Jourdan started using Clockify, she noticed how much time she wasted on various low-priority tasks:
“There was stuff that was taking up 2 hours where I just thought — ‘We can either scale this back or get rid of it.’”
Fortunately, Clockify offers plenty of benefits that help you prioritize tasks more effectively and focus on the work that truly matters.
Benefit #1: Improved efficiency
Jourdan loves using Clockify on her second monitor in real-time while she’s juggling multiple projects:
“Am I playing games, or do I need to tighten up a little bit? Tracking time with Clockify has been so helpful in keeping me on track. I do like doing it from my desktop and then going back and reviewing the activity.”
It lets her track the exact time she needs to finish a task and later analyze it to see how she can become more productive.
With Clockify, time gaps or inefficiencies quickly become apparent — allowing you to address them before they impact your bottom line.
Benefit #2: Better planning
In our interview, Jourdan mentioned that she always plans at least a month ahead. This helps her visualize future projects:
“I usually use my Sundays to plan. I have specific focuses, and I try to break them down at the end of the month to get a bigger picture and not be overwhelmed by the upcoming projects.”
In the Clockify calendar, Jourdan can easily see her scheduled tasks and time entries in one place. That way, she knows how long similar tasks have taken in the past — helping her plan more effectively for the future.
Benefit #3: Easier productivity techniques
When asked about her favorite time tracking technique, Jourdan shared what she learned in a productivity workshop:
“We worked for 45 minutes straight. When you come out of that work sprint, you feel like you’ve been working for 3 hours — because you were so laser-focused on one task.”
Jourdan is describing something similar to the Pomodoro technique. Generally, the way it works is the following:
- Start a timer for a specific amount of time,
- Work on it with no distractions — phones off,
- Take a 5-minute break, and
- Repeat the cycle until you finish the project in question.
Clockify has a built-in Pomodoro timer that helps you use your time efficiently and finish all your projects without feeling tired in the end.

- Find inefficiencies and stop wasting time,
- Improve your workflow and eliminate gaps, and
