If you use emacs, it has org-mode which is very capable. It'll handle task organization, prioritizing, time clock, scheduling, invoicing and more.

Look here at http://orgmode.org/ and http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html for brief and in-depth use information.

Good luck.

I've been using org-mode for the last few months to do my time tracking and it has worked out pretty well. You can use "clock tables" to get a report of all of the logged time within a certain window (e.g. february)

Works great, especially if you're using emacs for writing code too.

I wonder if there's something simliar for vim? That's the one I'm trying to master.
