Keeping track of my time is good for me to be more organized and improve my time management. It also helps me to keep everything surround me balanced. I feel that certain things I do in my everyday life shouldn’t have long duration maybe cut a few minutes off.

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

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.

Hello classmates and Professor Coughlin, I kept track of my school date, October 08, from 8 am to 2 pm.

Time Tracking Log

Date: [October 4,2025]
Time Period: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM

It was enlightening and helped me see where my time goes.I was surprised by how long routine tasks took. Breaking them down made me realize how quickly time accumulates.This exercise highlighted areas for better efficiency, such as multitasking during breaks.

Sunday, October 5 (1:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
– helped cleaning my room and kitchen area (1:00-1:15pm) 0.25

– Went to do laundry with my friend (1:15-2:30) 1.25

– ate lunch outside with my friend (2:30-3:30) 1.00

Keeping track of my time made me realize that I actually get many things done that I need to do. Keeping track of my schedule helped me stop procrastinating. Making this Log actually motivated me to get up and do certain chores And tasks that I didn’t really wanna do. To be honest, I am looking forward To making more time keeping logs in the future to help me manage my time for getting certain tasks done. What was really surprising to me was that I managed to do all these things in a very short amount of time because I was setting Time limits for each task. Considering I have no sense of time management this really did help me get better.

Time keeping my day made me realize how social my life actually is and how much I get done in one day, I’m not really a fan of it because most of the time my days are long and filled with unexpected quest beside class or completely boring.

It would have been better though if I was getting paid for all these hours on this long day.

Hello! I kept track of my time on Monday, October 6, 2025, from 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Here is what I did:

My reaction:
At first, I thought keeping track of my time would be annoying, but it actually made me realize how much I do in a day without thinking about it. I didn’t notice before how early I start and how much time goes into just commuting and preparing for work. Writing it down helped me see that small tasks, like cleaning or setting up, really add up over time. I also realized how easily time can slip away when something unexpected happens, like missing a stop. Overall, I felt more aware of how I spend my time and what parts of my day take the most energy.
