Hey Fred, <div>This is exactly why I stopped using local apps like MacFreelance and other ones. If something happens or their crappy timer stopped, you would always be estimating. I moved my stuff online to a subscription based service (Invoice Machine) because they also created the invoices, tracked, archived and just simplified it for me. That is not my strong point but I also need to get paid. I have bombed my mac so many times it's second nature now but what i did was add 3 hard drives (4) total and use TimeMachine on drive 4 and sleep well knowing I have a dedicated bkup. Then from there, you can selectively back important stuff up to others. The problem I have with all of the cloud-based stuff is what if the internet is down, what if a million things.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I dislike Google scraping everything I do (like they will do with this message) and then send me ads based on it. Besides that, I enjoy having some privacy regarding certain aspects like billing. It's one of those things that as soon as I saw your message, I said to myself, "Do you back up?". I know it's cliche but there is truth to it. The biggest thing is just to make sure it doesn't happen again and as always, keep calm and carry on.</div>
<div>Be well.</div><div>Chris<br><br><div id="WISESTAMP_SIG_gmail_session"><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div style="margin:0 0 8px 0"><table border="0">

I track my time with an app on my desktop and something happened (not<br>
entirely sure what but it's not really relevant now anyway) and I lost<br>
all my time worked from Jan 1st through the 19th.<br>
<br>
What should I do for my January bills? I charge my clients hourly. I<br>
don't even know 100% what I worked on and I don't think I can just<br>
take the details from the 19th through the 31st and multiply them by<br>
1.5 because who knows if that's correct? I do a lot of "one off" work<br>
these days so it's not as though I worked on Clients A, B and C every<br>
other day.<br>
<br>
Not sure what to do.<br>
<br>
I guess to multiply by 1.5 is the best I can think of. :(<br>
<br>
Any other ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

@Fred - Don't you have emails or issue queues where you can see what was<br>
done over these days? Going through your list of tasks and tracking time<br>
from memory and summing that to limit to 160 hours (or whatever is your<br>
average per month) would be an option.<br>
<br>
> Next time use google docs spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
+1<br>
<br>
or some time tracking application.<br>

I recommend you switch to <a href="https://www.roninapp.com" target="_blank">https://www.roninapp.com</a><br>
You can log hours even track your time since you start to work on task and<br>
finish it. Ronin could also create invoice from your logged hours.<br>
<br>
About your missing time sheets, better tell your client about it. If you<br>
have daily report with them, you could backtrack your time.<br>

At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe<br>
us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. And what might seem<br>
to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first steps of a<br>
journey.<br>

Look at your mobile call log and sent/received emails, command history, error log, etc. The pieces could refresh your memory.<br>
