In this video we're talking about time tracking in a bullet journal, notebook, or simple spreadsheet - here's how it can change your life!

Time Tracking was one of the most popular videos from 2018, and I wanted to update it based on some new techniques and tools.

But why does time tracking matter? It is a helpful practice for understanding how you are spending your time each day and how it aligns with your goals. I have found it very helpful in two specific areas:

First is overcoming my own objections for "not having enough time to do X" - whether X is writing, videos, exercise, journaling, whatever! Whenever I track my time I quickly pinpoint 30ish minutes that I can transform from mindless to meaningful.

Second is a better understanding of how long it takes me to accomplish certain tasks. This is especially useful for work, but can be for anything. For example I learned how long meal prep and cooking adds on to what I considered a "quick meal" or how commuting to and from the gym made exercise time nearly twice as long.

This sounds obvious after the fact, but we all have ways we think about time but don't fully realize until it's being measured.

So here's what we're going to cover in today's video: a few simple techniques for tracking time, the tools you need or can use to start, and how to implement changes in your life based on what you discover through time tracking.
