    Why run a time audit

    See reality, not memory

    We underestimate meetings and messages; a log shows the true split.

    Find lost hours

    Gaps and fragmented blocks reveal where focus leaks away.

    Make better trade-offs

    Real numbers make it easier to cut, delegate or batch work.

    How to audit your time

    1. Log as you goAdd blocks with a start, end and category, or start the timer and stop it when you switch tasks.
    2. Check the timelineSee your day as colored blocks, with any overlaps flagged and gaps counted.
    3. Review the breakdownSwitch to 7 days to see where a typical week goes, then export to CSV.

    How a time audit works

    A time audit is a short experiment: for one to two weeks you record everything you do in blocks of 15 to 60 minutes. At the end you total the time per category and compare it with what you think matters most. Most people discover far more time in meetings, messaging and context switching than they expected.

    Keep categories few and broad so logging stays quick. Log in real time with the timer, or catch up every couple of hours. The breakdown works on a single day, the last seven days or everything you have logged.

    Deep work share

    Aim to protect at least two to four hours of focused work on most days.

    Meeting load

    If meetings top 40% of your week, look for ones to shorten or skip.

    Untracked gaps

    Large gaps often hide switching cost and small interruptions.

    Time audit FAQ

    How long should a time audit last?

    One week gives a useful picture; two weeks smooths out unusual days.

    Can a block cross midnight?

    Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start, the block is treated as ending the next day.

    Where is my log stored?

    Everything is saved in this browser's local storage. Clearing site data removes it, so export a CSV to keep a copy.

    Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?

    Yes. The start time is saved, so when you come back the timer shows the elapsed time and you can stop and log it.

    Can I add my own categories?

    Yes. Use New category to add any label; it is saved for future days.
