Please do it. And put a link to the download. Should be free, of course. I could really use something like this. And I am sure many others could too. You'd earn the respect and eternal gratitude of all of us.
I use KeePass and feel the same way about the developer that created it. If I ever met him I would thank him personally.
I have been programming for 44 years and I'm still learning somethin new almost every day. I don't think I could do an app like this. though. 
Yeah! You right!

I bet you underestimate yourself, but, unless you try, you will never know.
A SystemTrayApp is not rocket-science.
I think it's better if I spend my limited screen-time (visual impairment) helping other CP members at the beginning of their years of programming, as well as my on-going self-education

What would you like for dessert ?
I think I will post a working example in a week, or ao,

My dessert is usually Vanilla ice-cream. 
Seriously I will be on the lookout for the example.

Sure you can, but if you want to make a program that's actually worth using, and looks reasonably nice, it's more work than that, and you know it.
FYI: I have now completed the application, and it has taken me some 5 hours to get everything the way I wanted it, including making icons etc.
I could have told you EXACTLY how long it had taken, had I had an application I could start and stop in the system tray to record time spent on a certain project. But I didn't have that! 
So there is 5 hours gone I could have spent on something else. And even if what you say is true (which it isn't), it would still have been 45 minutes spent unnecesarily had I been able to find such an application.
Furthermore, it's 5 hours I'm not going to get paid for, despite the fact that the program is going to be used for work management.

Seeing that it takes only 45 minutes, you should have posted it 4 hours ago! 
Bet mine is better...

I am going to guess that not many of these apps exist for good reason. I, personally, would forget to click the stop button all the time.
just track your time in a spread sheet and call it a day. google sheets if you don't already have Excel and want to go free and in the cloud.
I have been tracking my billable time for clients and projects in a spreadsheet for years, not including my employers project software (TFS, DevOps, etc.) but that is not related directly to billable timesheets.
good luck.

Well, not everybody are the same. You can't judge the rest of the world on the basis on how you do.

Didn't I just mention in the OP that that is how I'm doing today, and it's not working for me?

That is a very interesting concept. It wouldn't work for me, because I work on different projects using the same applications. But apart from that, I like the idea...

Yes, this is what I was afraid of - When they wanted to implement a similar software in our area, our SW guys said - "All fine, but I am only doing Visual Studio for different projects all day"

Money rules the game, you know that.
And FIFA and UEFA are both as corrupt as each other - so why not form a new league (where you can cream off the bribes instead of them)?

Hence, from an earlier post from not too long ago, you may see and agree with my disdain watching these ridiculously overpaid producers of nothing.
In a way, it's just as useless as the day-traders in the stock-market. Originally and investment medium, the stock market has since become a huge legal crap-shoot.

I have flown with this airline a few times, even with the same planes shown in the following video. The old 707s, which are out of service by now. The first time was when I was 12, but after finishing school, the government forced me to work for them by law. As they did with my poor old father. Back then I would not have been happy if they had made me one of their stewardesses, even if I worked hard to bring light and warmth into cockpits. Hopping around the world and spending a few nights here and there actually does not seem so bad anymore. And I could swear that I saw the place where I used to live from the shaky view out the plane's window after taking off to fly home near the end.
Warning: The video is a bit longer, so you might skip over it a bit.

Thank god not. Look at what's written in big letters on the side of the planes. It's 'Luftwaffe', not 'Lufthansa'. After school I had to spend 18 months in the military like everyone without boobs. They only laughed when I wanted to sail to sea and sent me to the flyboys. Could have been worse. Most are sent to the groundhogs.
