There’s 24 hours in a day, 168 hours in a week, and 8,760 in a year.
If we think about it, we spend most of our time either sleeping or working, with the rest of it spent on frivolous things like video games or watching tv. Not much productivity there.
After my backpacking trip in 2017, I wanted to be more intentional with my time, specifically around accomplishing goals. And not just any goals, but goals I’ve had for years (as far as back as college even).
So what did that mean?
I needed a system, something to hold me accountable, and something I could measure with data.
There’s two tools I use today and everyday to track my goals and tasks. They help me measure whether or not I’m doing the things I need to do to get to my goals, to live the life I want to and to be extremely intentional with my time.
They are: Clickup and Toggl.
With Clickup, I set up my goals under the goals tab in addition to creating a folder like this:
This system has allowed me to constantly review and track what I’m doing to ensure I’m getting a) the most out of my time and b) getting me closer to the life I want.
With Toggl, I’m able to integrate time tracking directly with Clickup and measure how long each tasks takes. Take a look below:
So to wrap it up, being intentional with your time is extremely crucial in being able to accomplish your goals, being more productive, and living the life you want.
Tools like Clickup and Toggl help us to hold us accountable and measure our progress.
We’re in 2019, and it’s already October. Still time left to set out your goals and accomplish them. ?
