3x founder (1 pico-exit). Bootstrapping Clockk ⏳ AI-powered time tracking and building it in public. I tweet crazy things about time ⏱️.

Hi, I’m Paul 👋

I’m a recovering 20-year software developer who’s always wanted to own a SaaS business.

That business is @clockkcom — automated time tracking.

I tweet about all the nerdy 🤓 parts of running a business.

Reply to this tweet or send a DM. Let’s be friends!

@SSHRC_CRSH Definitely suffering over here. Will send an email to that effect. Any estimated time to resolution?

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

@ericasmyname @Brian_Eastwood You'll hear lots of words, but you still won't know what they're thinking. A young child's brain is opaque.

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

Plowing through a bunch of client proposals with @Proposify?

Don’t forget to auto-track your time with @clockkcom!

Good morning to everyone who’s trying to level-up their productivity.

Employee monitoring is not cool.

Many of of our competitors will show your boss exactly what you’re doing.

At @clockkcom we will never share any data we track with your employer.

Time tracking is 20% remembering to click the Start/Stop timer button and 80% trying to remember what you did when you got too busy for the Start/Stop button.

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

Good morning to everyone who keeps track of their time.

What you think you need to launch your product:

- website
- analytics
- landing page
- ad campaign
- domain name
- billing infrastructure
- incorporated business
- all the social media handles

What you actually need:

- a customer with a pain they’ll pay you to fix
- 👆 99 more

Good morning to the dreamers.

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

Time tracking isn’t a task.

It’s a culture.

And that culture is set at the very top.

This is the guide to creating that culture in your agency:

I had a bit of time — apparently about 26 minutes — to compare train tickets to renting a car for my upcoming Italy trip.

If this is what @clockkcom’s time tracking can do with vacation planning, imagine what it can do for your client work!

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

Tell me again why I have to tell you again and again.

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

These numbers are shocking:

304 emails per week.

62 hours/month on meetings.

That’s the average employee.

And that’s pre-Covid.

It’s probably worse now.

Affirmation of the day:

Because of the things I am doing,
Because of who I am,
Because of who I will become,

my employees, my family, my friends, those in my community, and also those outside my community

will flourish.

Good morning to everyone who’s kissed timesheets goodbye.

“No more (forgetting) start/stop timers again. Clockk’s interface is intuitive and actually satisfying.” - Cyann H.

[Paul Doerwald @pauldoerwald]

Now that I have a child, I travel less often than I used to.

Instead, I spend more time embracing and researching the little travel I do.

Flights & hotels are booked. Now deciding between car and train.

Can’t wait to get to Italy again!
