Hello all, I know that I have skipped another week, I had a busy week with a lot of unusual scheduled events enough that I kept losing track of what day it was. This will be a different kind post, more of a journal entry and update.
I am using yet another time tracking app. I have come to realize that Smarter Time was nice and automatic in some ways but not always accurate and very finicky and quirky. I would still recommend but I believe that the new app, ATracker, is ideal for what I am looking for. It may be a little more manual but produces better results and is easier to log activities than others. I will keep you updated on how I find the app to work.
I like to discuss what I have learned from using different time tracking apps
The app is what you make of it. Any program, system, app, etc. is what you make of it. While everything has it's limitations, it is most important to know what you want out of something before you begin.
Each step builds to the next. As with anything in life, each experience will help you learn what works best for the next. What didn't work in a previous time-tracking experience helped me with what is next.
You learn from everything. Life is a learning experience and I have gotten more effective at tracking my time. While I have erred from tracking with too many activities and too detailed, I have also erred on too simplistic as well. I believe with this app I will have found the right amount of detail to produce the most useful information.
Life changes a lot. Tracking my time over the years has showed me how much life changes from season to season.
I hope you enjoyed a slightly different post. I will resume with more topic-based posts next week.
