I kept track of Friday afternoon-evening 10/9/25

| 5:15-6:30 | I drove from Brooklyn to Queens so my sister could go to her dance class. | 1.25 |
I enjoyed keeping track of my time because I realized how much time I spent doing daily tasks and how it all adds up. I understand why employers would want their employees to do it but it also seemed slightly unnecessary to document the same things I do over and over again. I also realized how much time adds up when you live in a congested area and spend a lot of time sitting in traffic and looking for parking. It puts things into perspective on how much time is wasted.
