Time Tracking
This was pretty interesting to look over, I’m glad I was honest with myself about the times even when I wasn’t proud of them, such as spending 6 hours total one day just watching YouTube. 🙈 It’s always been my way to take a break from it all and just zone out, but I think there’s a fine line between relaxing and avoiding. I think I tend to do a lot of the second one lol.
I definitely wasn’t very consistent with the level of details in my records, it’s easy to tell when the weekend was since there’s way more detail on those days. XD I also unfortunately didn’t record the first 2 days of the week since I didn’t see the blog assignment post until the 21st, my bad!
I liked this project though! I’ve actually gotten a much better idea of what to expect day to day – who knew making something as simple as a pb&j could take 20 minutes to make and eat? I’ll analyze what I gathered sometime for sure to get a deeper look into what I’m actually doing with my time each day. But for now, I think it’s time to sleep! (1:40am as I write this lol)
