Happy Sunday everyone! The 2025 Time Tracking Challenge officially starts at 5 a.m. Monday morning. I have a full morning tomorrow that involves driving to a speech, so I am posting this welcome thread now instead of then. I’ll post my full Monday log in the afternoon or evening.
Longtime readers know I have been tracking my time since April 2015. No one needs to do that. BUT I do think it is helpful to track a week here and there. If you’ve never tracked time before, now would be a great time to do it. If you have, maybe this week is a good time for a tune-up. Or maybe it isn’t — but some week in the near future is. I’d love to have you try it whenever!
You can sign up for motivational emails from me in the box on my homepage (LauraVanderkam.com). You can download a time tracking spreadsheet here. If you’e never tracked time before, it can be a little challenging to describe time (which often feels amorphous) in words. But it doesn’t have to be perfect. With a little practice, you’ll get it.
Thanks for joining! I’ll be back later on Monday to check in. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend.
