Time Tracking: The Truth About Where Your Time Really Goes
Have you ever wondered where all your time actually goes? I’m diving into the game-changing practice of time tracking - a crucial first step before you can master time blocking or effective scheduling.
Time tracking is about more than just jotting down tasks; it’s about understanding how long things truly take and weaving that knowledge into your day-to-day routine. My experience with time audits goes back to my days in the fire service, where tracking our hours was non-negotiable. Later, I experimented with my own notepad time-tracking system, and the insights were eye-opening.
Yes, time tracking can feel like a lot of work upfront, but it’s worth it. It helps pinpoint where your time is slipping away, highlights inefficiencies, and helps you build a work pattern that actually works. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to get started and why periodic time audits are a powerful tool for managing your productivity like a pro.
