Comments on: Have you tracked your time? A request https://lauravanderkam.com/2016/04/have-you-tracked-your-time-a-request/ Writer, Author, Speaker Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:04:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Virginia Hahn https://lauravanderkam.com/2016/04/have-you-tracked-your-time-a-request/#comment-31900 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 19:43:09 +0000 http://lauravanderkam.staging.wpengine.com/?p=6029#comment-31900 I would love to do this- I tracked my time a few months ago and it was awesome. I had already incorporated many of the principles of your books into my life- minimizing/outsourcing work that wasn’t part of my core values/strengths, planning a few anchoring activities during my leisure time, accepting that there will be some annoying moments within the fun moments, and the BIG ONE- knowing that I can have a full, rewarding career while enjoying my family and feeling good about my work-life harmony. I would be happy to track my time again, or you can use the one I sent during your time-tracking challenge to avoid the Hawthorne effect 🙂

@anne-marie – sure I’d love to hear about it! Feel free to email me, I love to hear about the difference in feelings vs. reality.

We’re just back up on our feet again after a few rounds of virus.

I’ve kept a time log last year BUT I’ve logged only 3 weeks in different periods of the year, and in differents work settings so I can compare my feelings vs reality. Is it enough to help you?

@Meghan – oh, funny. This request has no income requirement on it! Just in general I’m trying to include examples from people who have tracked time and found it interesting/useful.
Yep, transition times can take a lot of time…

Anyway, one thing I’ve noticed very clearly is how much transition time I need/spend. Not so much between same-purpose activities, like work-to-work or kid-to-kid, but say settling in to work after doing the dishes, or even getting out the door for a run after coming in from dropping kid #1 off at school. I just googled (as part of a transition-to-work-time activity, ha) tips on shortening that time, and started reading a Fast Company article. I laughed when I thought the voice was familiar and checked the byline … and it was yours!

@Courtney- they all looked cool. But loopit won the first round! She’s on to the finals! Vanessa sends her thanks to everyone for voting. We helped put her over the top 🙂

Everyone is back at school, so that’s a positive step…

I have to remain anonymous for now, but would love to discuss time logs with you at some point in the future.

I voted for loopit… but I have to say a portable wine glass would be pretty handy 🙂
I’m sure you have plenty of people with time logs, but if you need someone, I’m happy to share on the record what I learned with mine….
Hope your family all feels better very soon!!
