I have used several different systems to bill time but no matter which one I used I always found myself collecting  post -it notes and scraps of paper from around my office to input the time into the system. 

The PDF Timecard and Portfolio are my solution to that process. 

As PDF these files are easy to work with and one way to track time in a paperless law office.   In my view,  a paperless law office means little more than  getting comfortable using a computer and  this billing series is part of the Paperless Express Step on Designing Work flows and Procedures.
