Chris: Time Tracking Reasons to track time:

  • Shows you where you’re spending your time (and proportion of time)
  • Helps you say “no” to things
  • Helps you get a better idea of how much time things take you

Tips for time tracking:

  • Helps you realize why you feel overwhelmed or if you need to give yourself a kick
  • Start with 3–5 broad tracking areas: sermon prep, people time, prayer, admin work, errands
  • It’s about the general trends, not the 3-second changes

Why I chose Toggl?

  • Automate as much as possible
  • It’s free for everything I need
  • It’s on every platform (including browser plug-ins for Chrome)
  • If necessary, you can get the iOS app Timery (easier to use than Toggl’s iOS app)
