[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 12 – Tired Thursday

This post is the twelfth in the #trackingeveryminute challenge. You can follow along here. Not sure if it’s the holiday season or a cold, but I am feeling exhausted. End of the year malaise? The good news is that I planned my day the night before. It is a huge mental hack. Instead of waking […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 11 – Wednesday Win

Tracking every minute is about learning where I am spending my time. If I am not making adjustments based on what I am learning, why am I even bothering. Today is a great adjustment. Yesterday, I took 4 hours out of the working day to watch my daughters soccer game. Worth every minute, but I […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 10 – Tuesday Two

Today is the second Tuesday in the tracking every minute challenge. You can read about the first Tuesday, which was day 3. Yesterday, was the second Monday in the challenge. My big takeaway was the importance of shifting from weekend mode into work mode. Today, I think I benefited from that shift into work mode. […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 9 – Back to Work

After a weekend filled with children’s activities and family commitments I find Mondays particularly important. If I can set the tone today, it typically translates into a good week. So yes, I have a case of the Mondays, but hopefully in a good way. Here is what this Monday ended up looking like, if you […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 8 – Back to Where it Started

This challenge to track every minute of the day for the month, started a week ago. This is my second Sunday of the challenge. I am going to write a separate recap of the first week. Here is what today looked like: 8:00 – 10:30. Got a very late start on the day. I planned […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 7 – The Weekend Begins

While I started this challenge to track every minute of my day on a Sunday, this beginning of a new weekend feels different. Most likely because I am entering the weekend after having two great days for my personal life, but those days were awful for productivity and working towards my goals. Days 5 and […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 6 – The Wrong Routine

Day 6 is a Friday. I would assume I’m in the majority by assuming that my typical Friday’s are a bit softer than every other day of the week. Unfortunately for me, I also had a really soft Thursday (Day 5), which starts a routine in the wrong direction now. I started this challenge to […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 5 – What Routine

Today was the type of day that lead to the creation of this challenge. As I look back at what I got done during the day, nothing pops into my head. I got through the day. That is a win. But I was just running from place to place, with minimal intention and no focused […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 4 – Routine Continues

On Day 4 of my #trackeveryminute challenge I continued the routine I established in the last few days. This update is similar to Day 2 and Day 3. 6:00 – 6:30 I got a little bit of reading in. 6:30 – 8:30 got the kids up and out to school. At 8:30 I started the […]

[Tracking Every Minute]-Day 3 – Peak Routine

Is it possible that I’ve established a new routine by day 3? I started this challenge of tracking every minute of each day to avoid losing track of what I am doing with my time. Day 1 was my son’s birthday and a Sunday. It felt odd tracking how I spent every minute of a […]
