I first watched this video worried that tracking my time would give me anxiety but I started doing it and it has been a huge help!! Doesn't make me anxious bc time tracking doesn't work like a countdown
hii, i really like your channel and i'd love it if you could make a 'how to plan' video, because i am very bad at planning my time when i have homework haha (i always seem to make my planning very unrealistic :). love your content!!
I’m almost at the end of my week of tracking! Thanks for sharing about this app, it’s so much simpler than a lot of the other ones. But I am finding tracking everything a bit draining tbh 🤪 I think I will keep doing it but just track my work-from-home hours. Although maybe every few months I’ll do another full week of tracking everything to see if I’ve improved! Anyway just wanted to thank you for this video! I’m so amazed at how organised and professional you are for a highschool/college student, I aspire to be like you👏🏻✨
Expense tracking is the only tracking activity I can enjoy for the last 2-3 years and it makes me much more aware of where my money gone. I can have a slight sense of control over my life and it's amazing. And then I felt the urge to track my daily activity, couldn't be that hard I thought. It's painfully hard, LOL!
I once had a job and coworkers I loved and a new boss came in whom I despised and made us use toggle on the desktop. I resented it so much, as did all of us in the art department. 😂😂😂 but I think I need to take your advice and figure out where my time is actually going. I have so many life responsibilities and I’ve been feeling recently like it’s taking over everything. I also think I waste entirely too much time on Instagram. I have done the pomodoro technique before and it made me acutely aware of how fast 25 minutes will pass when I’m editing photos or videos. Thanks for the pdf and recommendation on the app. As usual you are wise beyond your years and I’m going to take your advice. Again. 😂😂
@@TheBlissBean You would never be the manipulative, evil person she was. I understand the value in the time tracking....it was really just that she traumatized me so much. lol! I figured out a perfect application for the time tracker you recommend. I am going to set it up to track my sewing and knitting projects. I do them over weeks sometimes here and there, and have no idea how long something takes. I just finished a beautiful hoop of an embroidered pine tree last night. I have no clue how long it took. It sat as a work in progress for weeks and weeks, and then I decided last week I was going to jump in and finish it. And I would like to track a video recipe and photo shoot from start to full completion. I have no idea how long it takes me to actually produce a recipe video and corresponding blog post. These are all things that would be super helpful to know. And way freaking easier to use that app than toggle on the desktop.
This time tracking thing is something I’m curious about for the past few months, and the more I hear about it the more it reminds me of counting calories/macros, or tracking spendings, where it starts kinda hard, gets more natural and easier by time passing, then after having an overview collected in about 1 year I stop tracking those things because now I can predict my guidelines
I'm glad I found this. I was just thinking the other day, too, man I really wish I was time tracking my tasks. It would save me the guessing game angst. And found that time tracking isn't that popular. Needless to say definitely subscribed. I have since come back to edit this, I dislike boosted. In fact, I tried so many android based apps and none them really do it for me. They're not as intuitive as you think they would be, and it says a lot coming from someone who designs websites. I'm really picky too, thankfully I have an iPad, so I got Now Then free to try it out and hopefully this is the one for me.
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I’ve tried time tracking a bunch of times over the years but have never been able to make it work long enough or consistently enough to learn anything from it. Being able to setup categories I’m advance in the app you recommended sounds SO HELPFUL. In toggl, to track time I have to manually type out what I’m doing. Great foe detail, but not so good for ease of use. I also really appreciate the PDF list. Thanks for all of this!
omg this is the first time i actually understood what time tracking is and how it helps,, i might just try it since i'm going back to uni after a gap year in like 3 weeks. thanks beatrice 💜(also peep at those bts videos you were watching haha)
I've downloaded two apps on Android, then I would need to see again the video haha you speak so fluently the things that you made and why! I'm so impressed! Also the things that you wrote, they hadn't occurred to me, never 🤔😂
The Bliss Bean looking forward to it💃🏽 i actually decluttered my whole space in 2 days watching a lot of your productivity videos and used some of your decluttering tips and i never felt more lighter so thank you😂✨
I just saw your video on time tracking and it is very helpful! I went to try to download your resource on categories for ideas. I saw that it was no longer on there. I was wondering if there was a way to get that resource?
I really appreciate the content of your video based on your 2 years experience of tracking your time but as yourself mentioned 4:20 "theoretically you could also do this on paper but it's 2019, so just get an app..." so take a step back from your habits to 7:56 "fill-up a post-it with all the info..." and reconsider to use Clockify: not only the app but also the browser to better review your percentage by "why" (or client in Clockify vocabulary). In Clockify you can set your "what" as project and you can even set a third dimension with tag to solve your hesitation between recording the time for driving or podcast listening. Also you can select "billable" which will lead you to delete your "Money Making" category and implement the whats in more appropriate "why". Which led me to your categories 10:20 driving should be not a stand-alone "why", as it clearly belongs to the truth "why" activity you are undertaking. Or think about it the other way: would you spend time driving if you didn't do this activity? Same for "getting ready": what if you would just stay home? or getting ready for chores isn't the same as for exercising ;) Resume belongs to your working activities. I'm fully agree with the "phone time" but not with the family one: I developed the following concept: enriching or achieving? If enriching, then both friends or family members record the time under "who". If achieving, then both persons record the time under "what". In case that one would rather accompanying or supporting the other, then then one will record the time in "who" and the other records the time in the "what". I guess you got my point: you should NOT track the "how" (driving, texting, emails...) but rather the "what" & "who" (eventually the "where" of your excursions and the "when" for planing things which aren't clearly belong to a "why") I would love to exchange with you about this topic and how to make the best of all time, both for professional productivity but also to best manage our own ressources! I sent you an email and I'm looking forward to your reply ;) I wish you a great start in 2021!
I really need to become good at time tracking because of my work but just the thought of it makes my soul wilt and die. I think it's so awesome that some people do it and it works for them, but thinking of having something with me at all times and having to click start and stop for everything is just... no. I really need to find a twist to it that can make it less dreadful to me.
This though! Like, I will either never remember to start and/or stop the timer orrr I will be completely obsessed for like a few days and get tired of the tediousness of it and just give up.
hey! thank you for this video, it was extremely helping- like your channel, don't know how I haven't found it yet but Im glad I did!! 🙏 unfortunately I can't enter the site in order to downland the pdf- the link is no longer available. can you please assist? it would be really helpful.
Heyo! Yes I think this is one that I've "retired" haha, does this Google Drive link work for you? drive.google.com/file/d/1Au253azzRKDKQ5dAZ4HNrBPsCud16JBw/view?usp=sharing
I didn't know I needed this but oh boy I was wrong 🤓🤓 I've been time blocking my calendar for a while now but during the summer it is not really working.... 🙈
I just found this video and I was looking forward for the pdf but apparently it has expired and I don't know if she is still active in yt. Can anyone help me out with the pdf?
Heyyyy absolutely loves this video🥰🧚🏽. On the App Store there’s two now then pro apps a red and blue one. Ones free and the other is R50. Wanted to ask if I can use the blue one ???
I believe the blue one is just a "lite" version of the full one, I"m not exactly sure what they limit you on, but you can definitely try the blue version as a trial first before buying the full (red) version!
The Bliss Bean Oh gosh, anything. I know you make videos about how you stay organized but I think people would enjoy written work too, or maybe something you’ve never talked about.
yeahh sorry this is one I've "retired"! let me know if this Google Drive link works for you drive.google.com/file/d/1Au253azzRKDKQ5dAZ4HNrBPsCud16JBw/view?usp=sharing
1:11 I believe this has more to do with lack of technique than an inherent problem, you just weren't trained to look for things like a chess grandmaster, pro gambler, Investigator and Superforecaster is.
When I follow the link to your time tracking page by copying and pasting it the link doesn't work for me... Is anyone else having this problem? I found the page through google. I loved this video! I have android so I can't use the app you do (so sad because it looks simple but effective) so I am experimenting with Toggl. Your categories have been SO helpful! That was the hardest part for me.
I first watched this video worried that tracking my time would give me anxiety but I started doing it and it has been a huge help!! Doesn't make me anxious bc time tracking doesn't work like a countdown
I'm rewatching this and I'm really wishing that you'd create a podcast someday!!
I've been doing that too😁
@@swarna5353, if you post productivity videos I will subscribe and like every video! 😁
Also rewatching this! I forgot her name and lost the channel but this helped me so much a few years ago! Can’t wait to get back to this method.
This video is Gold! You just discussed about all the challenges and their solutions. Well done
This is so good! I’ve been using this app and dang how much time I waste it’s insane!! I’ve been getting better

Time blocking is the best! Great video.
I measured my time in 10 min blocks recently. Made a video about it too.

Beatrice, a big thank you from here in Brazil.
This video is TIMELESS. ❤
really excited about this video and this app!!
Best video I ever watched. Thank you.
Thank you for this video and especially for all the resources in the description! Good continuation
Hi Beatrice, I am wondering if there is an updated link for the Masterlist PDF 🙇🏻
Thank you so much for this video and the pdf! ✨
Hi Beatrice, Do u have a video on how to maintain. To do list for day or week?... thoroughly impressed with the clarity of thoughts 🍭
