Hi Ross,

I just clock everything.  You can make a level 1 heading of * Billable
and * Non-Billable and create tasks under that to clock.

Then your clock reports will show summaries and the
Billable/Non-Billable stuff should be obvious.

Alternatively you can keep separate project files for Billable and
non-Billable.  I've used both approaches in the past.

HTH,
Bernt
