Prioritize projects through this simple lens: Each dot represents a potential project or feature. Scoring would work such that;
Green = justification for immediate completion
Yellow = decide based on subjective views
Red = justification to wait
As an organization grows, this allows you to weigh the ideas and complexities of partner requests with that of folks who have longer term (cross quarter) projects currently in motion. Things like engineering hours, PM resources, and design may play a role in the score and color of a dot. Previously running projects have probably the highest impact, but provide justification on a high impact low difficulty project being pushed off a month.
Harvest is enabling me to be successful. I feel confident that I can accomplish tasks. I know that when the clock’s ticking, I need to stay focused on the project at hand. I value the time I spend on projects in a way that I never have before. And, when I’m asked to do something, I’m asking the most important question of all: “How much time do you expect this to take?
Thank you Elite Web Labs, we’re so happy to hear it: 25 Months, 987.74 Hours Billed, 0 Complaints!

TIME IS MONEY: On average, a CEO spends 18 hours in meetings.
Amazingly confusing clock that tests the phrase “Time is money.”
“For a clock that costs $2,388 and is made of not much more than some copper numbers an an old bike chain, you’d expect the Catena (Latin for “chain”) clock to at least work properly.
Unfortunately, it looks like the designer, Andreas Dober, cheaped out and just picked up a standard, clockwise-running movement. Take a look. While the numbers seem to run in the correct direction, when it comes to reckoning minutes you have to read backwards. The time shown in the picture is around ten past eleven, but at first glance appears to be ten to eleven.
Still, the piece itself is certainly a beauty, and if you have almost two and a half grand lying around for a clock you can probably just pay someone to read it for you. They could also warm up by counting the time it’ll take to arrive on your doorstep: the delivery time is 12-16 weeks.”
