I don’t think people realize just how much of their lives are spent doing things. When I ask “Jane” how long it took her to write that report, I expect a response like, “Oh, just a few hours. No biggie!” Now admittedly no one would be too happy about wasting three hours for a stupid report, but for conversation’s sake, let’s roll with it. As much as she let those few hours roll of her back like it was no big deal, time is a bitch. And when we finally realize that, it just might help re-prioritize aspects of our life that we’re spending way too much time on.
Eternity Time Log is an application designed to not only log the time you spend doing things, but show you just where you may or may not need improvement. It’s an excellent tool of getting an overview of your life, and it’s helped me rethink what I do, what I can I do to improve my time management for certain tasks, and what I can cut back on. I think for a lot of people who’ll use this seriously, there’s going to be this eyebrow-raising revelation that tells you just how much time you’ve actually working compared to time spent with your kids.
