Like the title says, I really suck at billing. I will be at my desk for like 12 hours and walk away with 8-ish (sometimes less!). Second year, litigation. If any of you have an idiot's guide to billing well, I am all ears.
I usually run a timer for my matters but don't put in a narrative. Sometimes I'll just bill the entire block if it's generally related to one task (like 2.7 total, but I've written emails related to the task and researched something related to the task and then drafted something related to the task).
Is this just not the right approach? How granular do you get with billing? Is it about collecting 0.1s? Do you just write out your narrative and then bill it immediately when you're done?
