Identifying Lost Time

Finding lost time in daily routines is crucial for reclaiming moments that can be better spent on personal or professional interests. Many individuals are busy throughout the day but struggle to pinpoint where their time goes, leading to feelings of unproductivity. A useful exercise is to keep a time log, which entails tracking activities in half-hour increments for a week, revealing blocks of time often wasted on trivial tasks. This practice not only highlights areas for improvement but also helps realign time usage with personal priorities.
