Tuesday is day 3!! So glad I cancelled “tagging along” with a friend to run errands today. It’s a choice I’m making right now…I am going to stop ignoring time and cultivate it as a tool to use! Let’s do this!

As I do, I’m realizing how often I let myself be pulled from topic to topic based on other people’s messages (yesterday a “do you have a minute to chat?” turned into a 45 minute brainstorm. Interesting topic, but nowhere on my priority list.) As a result, I’ll start my day with “these are the two things I MUST get done today” and end up doing them in the end of day triage (one of your many brilliant suggestions) or worse, in the evening.

Today I’m going to try estimating how long some of these “must do” tasks will take and racing the clock to see if I can get them done within my estimated window without getting distracted.

I have a pretty strong understanding. But one of my goals of of 2023 is to be more efficient or intentional with my time. Tracking time is almost a mini accountability. Also- yesterday I was reminded about the power of one of your rules from TbT have a back up slot( this was particularly helpful when technology was not cooperating at work) I love your your work. Thank you.

It’s easier than I thought it would be and actually enjoyable knowing where exactly I spend my time and how exactly iI can find time for things that I want to do but wasn’t able to. Thank you so much for this 2023 time tracking challenge, really appreciate your inspiration and motivation for me to log my time and improve my life!]]> I have been following you and read your books and listened to your podcast for quite a while, but I am taking the time tracking challenge the first time with you and I am so happy and exited to complete Day 2, it’s been a wonderful realization about how much I sleep, spend time with my daughter and actually have me time than I thought I had. I feel more fulfilled, in a lesser rush and more focused since I have to log my hours like an attorney 🙈. It’s easier than I thought it would be and actually enjoyable knowing where exactly I spend my time and how exactly iI can find time for things that I want to do but wasn’t able to.

I need to push myself to spend time every day doing cleaning as I can actually get alot done in just 15 minutes
