Thank you, I don't remember your username.
I joined this subreddit day before yesterday.
I read a post where someone had shared how they took a page and listed out every hour of the day on the left, and after every hour they logged in what they did in that hour, and how it helped them squeeze in meaningful work.
I took the advice and ran with it. I followed it yesterday and today. And I haven't felt this good about myself in months. I can literally see my day in a page. I will hopefully keep on doing it. Thank you stranger, I hope this reaches you. To anyone else reading this, try it out. It's super simple and easy, do it for just one day, at the very least, you'll know where most of your time goes.
My audit of two days revealed that the short unintentional instagram breaks stretch out to a 20-30 min sesh all the time, without even me realising it.
