ADVICE

Try One Week Of Time Tracking

  • Try a week of time tracking to see where your hours actually go before making any big changes.
  • Use a simple tool (Laura suggests spreadsheets; Sarah used Toggl) and keep entries broad enough to be sustainable.
ADVICE

Use Toggl And Keep Entries Simple

  • Use a time-tracking app like Toggl if you prefer electronic tracking and want easy editing and summaries.
  • Keep category names short and reuse suggestions to reduce entry friction.
