As suggested by everyone a mktplace app can help here. If you are open to try out one pls take a look at
Worklogs Time Tracking in Jira & Timesheets
With this add-on, you can easily -
- Enter Time Spent for multiple issues from Time sheet screen. With Calendar view and Board view
- Create time reports in real time by grouping & categorizing data with aggregation
- Prepare your reports based on Project/Sprint/Issue Type/Assignees and various other filters
- Group your data to build more meaningful reports
- CSV Export
- Dashboard gadget
- Add and use custom fields to worklogs (like billable status, work type, cost center, etc.)

Jira doesn’t natively provide a centralized way to manage your personal schedule and log time from one single workspace but our app, ActivityTimeline, does.
With the Workspace module, you can handle your time tracking without constantly opening multiple Jira issues. Everything is available on one page. Click Log Work on the dashboard, select a specific day in My Schedule, add an entry through the My Logged Hours table. If you prefer real-time tracking, just use the Timer to start and stop as you work.
At the same time, you get an instant overview of your time. And the tables below display all your worklogs in one place, so you can quickly review or edit dates, hours, and comments. If you want a broader summary, you can switch to the Timesheets module (Timeline or Detailed view) to see your total logged hours aggregated by day, week, or month.
Hi @Barbara Homer , welcome to the community.
I understand how you feel, and sometimes it can be extremely hard to keep track of what you've done throughout the week. What you're looking for is not native to Jira, but you can find a third-party app from the marketplace.
You can use TimePlanner - Timesheets, Time Tracker & Resource Capacity Planner for Jira. Our tool offers timesheet submission and approvals so you can log the exact time spent on each task, then submit it to your leader/manager to review for either approval or rejection.
You can plan your task first, then work accordingly. Or, you can also use a stopwatch timer to start working on each task and log accurate time.
Besides, when using TimePlanner to log your work, the app also shows your workload accordingly. This allows teams to allocate resources more effectively and avoid overload or burnout.
I hope these can help you get around your work easier 😊 If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Hello @Barbara Homer 👋🏻,
Welcome to the community !
Jira’s native time tracking requires work to be logged against issues, so there isn’t a built-in way to track time completely independent of issues.
If your goal is to log and review your work from a single place—without constantly opening multiple issues—you might consider using a timesheet-style app. These tools provide a centralized view where you can easily log and manage time across multiple issues. While you can use Jira’s built-in Log Work feature to track your time throughout the day or week, you may prefer a more advanced solution for better visibility and efficiency.
In that case, I can recommend WorklogPro.
🌱 With this app, you can:
- Easily track your daily or weekly work logs
- View the issues you’ve worked on in different formats such as timesheet and calendar
- Create time periods and transfer issues to the next period using the “Copy to Next Period” feature
- Analyze your work with multiple chart options based on different filters and conditions
🌱 Additionally, thanks to WorklogPro’s time tracking panel (available in both calendar and timesheet views), you can easily find and select the issues you’ve created or worked on.
🌱 With its period-based structure, you can define a start and end date and log time for each day of the week (or on a weekly basis) from a single screen—without navigating between multiple issues.
🌱 You can also:
- Mark important issues as internal for quick access
- Use the issue picker without needing to search every time
- Add issues to favorites and quickly select them via views like Favorites, All Issues, or Recent
🌱 Another useful feature is the ability to clone worklogs. You can easily copy logged work to another date, assign it to a different user, or adjust the time spent as needed.
This helps you manage your time tracking more efficiently and analyze your work more effectively.
💪🏻 About the “Copy to Next Period” feature:
You can select any issue from your timesheet and copy it to a previously created period. This eliminates the need to recreate tickets repeatedly. It also ensures that your important issues remain visible in your timesheet, making time tracking more organized and user-friendly.

Hello @Barbara Homer
If you're open to trying a third-party marketplace app, I'd like to recommend Time Assistant - Time Tracking and Workload Dashboard, which our team built to address exactly this kind of use case.
The app gives you a clear overview of your tasks and makes logging time significantly quicker and more convenient. Here's what it offers:
- Personalized issue suggestions - The app surfaces relevant work items that may need time logged, based on issues you've opened, edited, commented on, been assigned to, or been mentioned in. No more hunting through boards to find what you worked on.
- Favorites - Pin your most common issues for quick access anytime.
- At-a-glance time summaries - See how much time you've logged today, this week, or this month so you're always on top of your progress.
- Built-in timers - For more accurate tracking, start and stop timers directly from the app view or from within any work item.
I hope this helps :) If you would like to know more, you can contact us or simply try out the app for free for 30 days.
Jira doesn't currently have a single unified timesheet view in its native interface, so you're right that tracking work across multiple tickets can feel scattered. The worklogs are stored per issue, which means you typically need to either open each ticket individually or use a gadget on a dashboard to see your logged time in aggregate. One approach is to create a dashboard with the Time Since Issues gadget filtered to your username, though this shows issue age rather than worklog details.
For a more complete timesheet experience, you might want to look at Report Hub - Custom Charts, Reports & Timesheets for Jira, which is built by our team at Grandia Solutions. It includes a Timesheet report that consolidates all your logged work across issues into a single view, showing hours per day, per issue, and per user, which makes it much easier to review and summarize your weekly time without jumping between tickets.
