Hey thanks again for helping me,
I really do appreciate your advice.
No problem, Tim, by the way, how's the family?
Everyone's great but, well,
that's part of my problem. I want to spend more time with them,
but lately there's been so much work that I never
get to leave on time.
Well, you seem pretty busy whenever I see you. Have you thought about
doing some time tracking. So you can see how you're
spending your time? You might be able to cut out some things
that aren't really necessary, Tim.
Yeah, I've heard of that,
how does it work?
Easy just keep a log of what you're doing.
Write it down every 30 minutes.
Okay, I get it. So if I'm, saying checking emails
between eight and 8 a.m to 8.30a.m. I would put that down in the log.
That's right,
do it all day long for a week. So you get a good idea of how
you're spending your time. And you have to be honest, if you spend a
half an hour watching football highlights instead of working You
have to write that down.
Yay, you're actually going home on time today. So how did the time tracking go?
Pretty good, I'm afraid I did catch
a few things that weren't so productive. And I definitely realized how
much time I spend in meetings.
Great, keep doing this for
a few more days and then we can start finding things to cut.
