How do I log retroactive time?

[daratbates]

I need to log time beginning 3/1/21 for 40 hours/week (not 20 minute increments). I can't believe how un-user friendly this app is. Please help.

One solution would be to ask the client to pay you a bonus for previous time worked but not paid.

Dara:
You should log your manual time immediately after a work session.

This has nothing to do with how "user-friendly" the app is.

It is not Upwork's intention that you postpone logging your time. Nor is it Upwork's intention that you log manual time before tha time has occurred.
