Activity Log

Benefits

The activity log or time log is a tool that helps you to:

• become aware how you use your time

• collect hard evidence on how you use time

• identify your high-performance hours

• identify time wasters

• start improving your time management

How to do it

• create an empty table

• note every half hour what you have been doing

• repeat the process for 1-2 weeks

• evaluate the result (e.g. categorizing)

There are plenty of mobile apps and other tools that help you keep a time log. But in principle an empty sheet of paper does the job.
