These are not every day activities! Archiving is generally done once a year, invoicing is once a month, accountancy is done quarterly - preparing documents for the accountant that is. Emails and phone calls are normally answered immediately, but with longer projects, I do not get either one every day either. | | | Mary Worby United Kingdom Local time: 17:05 German to English + ... www.proz.com/polls/1806 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
I probably spend about half a day every month on general admin, including invoices. But I don't consider e-mail as admin. I generally have so many of them coming backwards and forwards that I can spend up to an hour a day on them. But it's all part of the process of acquiring, discussing, delivering work, etc. | | | New user www.proz.com/polls/1806 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
I wonder how many translators that respond use or do not use additional tools, ProZ.com invoicing, TO 3000 etc | |

I use Translation Office 3000. I put in about 20 minutes each day making sure all client and banking information is in place. If I don't all of this piles up on me and becomes more confusing. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: How much time do you spend on non-translation work (invoicing, archiving, emails, etc.) each day?
