Time can be hard to keep track of, even with time tracking software.

It’s something that gets wasted, paid-for, kept, tracked, and ignored. Some say that time is money, and in a job where you get paid based on the time you spend on a specific project, that saying becomes fairly literal.

If you’re like most people, you might have a hard time remembering when you started one thing, or when you finished another. Because time is a human-made way to measure things, it is pretty much impossible to keep track of time down to the minute, just in your head, with any sort of reliability.

But then you don’t want to keep track of endless time sheets for every employee. Entering all that data manually can be a pain, and then you have to pay each individual employee one at a time, not to mention fixing any accidents or errors. It can get pretty messy and time-consuming to do it all on your own.

Enter, the people who know how to help you keep track of the money that is time. Here are a few of the best time tracking programs of 2017.
