Time Management & Time Tracking

I want to share with you my method for tracking time. This is what I use to track my time day to day and although its a bit involved, I find it incredibly effective. This type of system is good for an entrepreneur, the self employed or anyone who is serious about their time.

I know that this is not the only way to manage your time, there are probably many better methods out there, this is just what works for me.

WTF? 15 minute blocks? How do you even keep motivation up to write all of this down?

13:15: Took a shit
13:30: Answered the door
13:45: *C O F F E E B R E A K*
14:00 Memes
14:15 Thinking about work, but delaying it

Even thinking about taking on this amount of self organisation is enough to bring on waves of anxiety

This is very similar to CGP Grey's system.
EDIT: It's because it is based off of the same book... I'm smart.

According to Rory Vaden:
*"There is no such thing as time management. You can't manage time, time continues whether we like it or not. There is only self-management"*

As a fulltime developer and entrepreneur for 10 years, and having tried multiple times to manage my time/tasks/work/life as best as i can, here is my lessons so far:

1- Time = Money. The rule is simple: DONT WASTE IT
2- Understanding how we spend time can help us improve it, for SURE, but after a few years, that you know yourself enough, its just another precious chunk of time being wasted in spreadsheets.
3- Quoting Gary Vee. *"Execution is the real game."*

Following this process can be stressfull, so to balance that, i just have another set of rules in mind to stay productive while stress-"free":

1- Doesn't matter how long it takes, just do a good damn job
2- Doesn't matter if we can't handle huge loads of work, just do one at a time.
3- Focus only on the task ahead, headshot, repeat.

minimalism is the true peace of mind. keep it simple!

Thanks and keep the great work, lov the channel!

Sharing one of the best videos i've seen in time management, hope you dont mind:

I've never heard someone use Rameau in their video, proud of you :)

I stumbled across your channel from your video about your dislike for The School of Life (I agree and disagree with that video), but I love what you're doing, so I subscribed lol.

I actually just got Getting Things Done and am probably going to take advantage of your spreadsheet. I work full time and am also doing my entrepreneur thing (including trying to build my YouTube channel) on the side, and it's been getting overwhelming, so I definitely need to start doing some time management stuff.

[khanriza]

Your videos are so good they get their own category!

[gresmanubag]

I'm so glad I found this channel.

[anonrebel]

[Alice-vexw]

You know that feeling when it's Sunday, but you can't enjoy your free time knowing that tomorrow you have work? Yeah, that's how time management makes me feel haha But it does make me very productive 👍

bro thanks so much, God knows I needed this keep up the great work!!

[phillipyoung]

Going to try this for this work week. Using my buckets or variables as the different tasks i work on and track how much time i spend on eachwork task and see how those tasks i spend the most time relate to the kpis i work toward. Should be fun...

[jamesbevan]

Inspired. Now I need to cut down on how many organizational, tracking and task tools I'm using...

[mayankparmar]

You're such a nerd man ... Pure Respect

[MunchinOnDew]

Welp, just bought that book. Thanks for the recommendation!

[jazzbeats]

[Chiffonkek]

I just use a bullet journal to plan my day. Wished my day can be as structured as yours.
