Abstract

A timekeeping system and method is provided for enabling users to graphically represent one or more activities, as well as the time that has been allocated to each. A graphical display uniquely identifies activities or events based on different visual indicators (e.g., colors), as well as a dimension (e.g., length, area, etc.) that visually represents the duration of the activities or events. At least one dimension of the visual indicator changes in real time to represent the elapsed time of an activity. A report module comprising a report generator and report editor is provided to enable users to account for and summarize the time that has been spent on various activities.
