ClockFuelOpen accountYou do not need to narrate every minute to leave a useful work record. The best moment for a short note is often when you already pause or finish. ClockFuel offers an optional note box at those moments, so documenting the work does not need to become a separate task you remember later.
A reusable pattern: Worked on [activity]. Completed [result]. Next step: [follow-up].
Describe the outcome, not every click
Write the activity and its result. Reworked homepage headline and sent draft for review is easier to understand than Worked on site. For household work, try Folded laundry and mopped kitchen; hallway still pending. If the same session covered several tasks, list them briefly. The recorded session remains one session even when the note contains multiple activities.
Save or skip without pressure
On pause or stop, type a summary and choose Save note. Skip dismisses the box without requiring a note. Save what you want to keep before resuming or leaving the page. The text limit is 2,000 characters, but most session notes can be much shorter. A missing note does not prevent a session from being tracked.
Edit from recent history
Open Earnings & work history and use Add note or Edit note for the relevant editable session. Make sure you are editing the correct job and date. Existing notes are carried with saved sessions, and account saving follows the same cloud-save process as the rest of the workspace. Wait for confirmation before expecting the change on another device.
Remember where notes will appear
Notes are included in CSV exports, workspace backups, and invoice drafts. They are not automatically emailed. Avoid credentials, private client information, or personal details you would not want in an attachment. Review the draft before sending it, particularly if your note was originally written just to jog your own memory. Notes provide context; they do not certify a payment, expense, or separate timed interval.
