I only prefer to track my time when productivity and well being are not the top priority.

To maximize for those two elements, tracking time just seems to get in the way.

I get it. That’s why, over the years, I’ve simplified my own system. I use a paper sheet that is daily breakdown paper template and a quick Excel tracker. At the end of the day, I spend about 15 minutes logging everything in Excel, and later I can filter it by task. I agree that at first, it felt time-consuming. But with a bit of streamlining, it’s become something that actually saves me time and mental energy in the long run.

Thanks for your comment.
