How to save your time when creating reports

Creating reports manually you waste your time twice

Have you ever met the situation when you have to give your manager full report that clearly shows the picture with your tasks immediately? If the answer is "yes", you know how difficult is to interrupt your current work and describe each task with its status, due date, time left and other attributes. While you are spending lots of time on describing each task, accounting how much time is spent on it and how much percentages of it are already done, you will lose sight from your current work. As you can see, such report will waste your time twice – when you spend much time on creating it and then when you need time to focus on your previous work again. Undoubtedly, it's necessary to find more suitable way for creating reports.
