One of the most frustrating parts of working in a field that requires multiple different clients is keeping track of how much time has been spent on each of them, and the Timeular ZEI cube is a tool that makes that task as simple as turning an hourglass. Far from analog, though, the Timeular ZEI keeps [accurate timesheet data](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timemaster) for up to six clients or tasks through an intuitive digital interface.

The Timeular ZEI is a multi-sided polygon, and each side of the device can be configured to represent a different client or task (e.g. Acme Inc. or "brainstorming"). Its surface is like a whiteboard, allowing consumers to label each side with erasable markers. By flipping the polygon to a different side, it will begin to track that task, eliminating the need to constantly open and amend spreadsheets.
