Most unbilled time is not lost in a month. It is lost on a Tuesday afternoon and nobody notices until the invoice is due.
The routine
Accept or skip the calendar suggestions for the week
Fill the gaps in any day under six hours
Read every note as if you were the client
Share the week with clients who approve timesheets
