Was that six minutes or my whole life? Okay, this call was at ten. Or eleven. And then I drafted something. I think? Who am I as a biller? Okay, just estimate. .3? .5? .2 feels honest. This cannot be accurate. Next time I'm definitely going to use Smokeball's automatic time tracking feature. It literally logs everything for me as I work.
