How to use TIME TRACKING to Maximize Your Day

Tracking what you do and how much time it takes you is the most important thing you can do for your productivity. You can really see exactly where all of your time is going instead of having to estimate! In this video I'll take you through what exactly time tracking is, different ways to do it, and WHY it's so important.

I'll also teach you how to use my personal favorite time tracking app - Now Then Pro. Let me know if you try out this productivity technique or if you already use it! What's the most surprising thing you found out from your data?

P.S. Don't forget to check out my blog post on this topic as well :) (link below)

Yes, I'm going to try time tracking now. I love your videos!

[ASHISHKUMAR-xbcz]

Just the thing i was looking for. Makes you feel more accountable towards yourself, thanks !! . "Time is under-rated as a resource though"

[eiennjae]

This is pretty amazing. Installed the free version and will try using this :D

[ProvBeauty-Seeinglassfull]

This is awesome!!! Thanks.

Is it possible to get same App or another that not only does this kind of tracking but

ALSO (so excited thinking of this!!) BE USED TO PLAN AND SCHEDULE TIME USE colourfully

and then at end of the week COMPARE PLANNED TIME AND ‘USE OF TIME’ SIDE BY SIDE in the app (and viewable on PC!!!! ) Anyone know of such an app? I won’t even know how to search for such. Thanks

Your videos are so good! Smaller influencers are so underrated!!!

[laveris]

I'm really an unproductive student 🥺 Your videos i spired me to change my daily routine and be productive 💕

I'm pleasantly surprised at how good the content is and the presentation. Nicely done. Keep up the good work.

For Android users...a very great and a lot similar to the Now Then app is the "Track Time: personal tracker" app

[nyamoram]

I love this video for highlighting the benefits of time tracking. I stumbled upon it awhile ago and deferred tracking my time as I was on an Android and couldn’t find an equivalent app that suited my needs. I tried tracking by hand but, like you mentioned, it quickly became tedious. With my new XR in hand I look forward to giving this method another go

[MakingOnlineEasy]

This was a freakin' killer video and the exact video I was looking for in regards to Now Then Pro. Thank you so much and don't stop doing what you're doing!

[GustavoSilva-nyjc]

WOOOW, this app is so good!!! It feels like it's exactly what i was asking for!!! How i never heard about it?! Excellent video.

Great vid. Got me started using this app. Question. How can i view a listing of my logged events, not necessarily totaled by category. For example if I started and stopped a time tracking 3 different times in a day for VIDEO EDITING, how can I see all 3 occurrences with their start and stop times without the app grouping and totaling them all up? Is this doable and exportable?

[YagamiLightRyuuk]

I saw a lot of other time tracking stuff like bullet journals but for me just starting out I want all the data. From manually tracking for 2 days I've figured out tasks I think take sub ~1 are more like 2-3 minutes. Having an app to automate that is great!

[lyssvee]

Exactly what I was searching for - unfortunately it's not available for android. :/

[NicoleConstante]

Soo helpful!! I was just planning to do this manually and then found this. Thank you 💓

[amandazhou]

Thank you so much for this video!! I am looking for a time tracking app that has lots of parent categories and shows data in pie chart. This is exactly what I wanna use, love it 😍

[katerinagondarovskaya]

Agree, and would like to suggest TMetric as a time tracking app. Time management is really important in our life and the TMetric solution could come in handy when it comes to logging your time daily and boosting productivity.

I typed a random search to find advice on iOS time tracking app and really hit the jackpot with this video. Thank you so much. I am sometimes hesitant to spend money on an app but this one was well worth it and so easy to use. I really needed To see where my time was being spent and this did the trick immediately.

[deborahsuh]

Wow. You are great! I was looking for something like this and your advise and video make me to start this app.. and I hope this is working and fitting into my life-style. thanks.
