Keeping a task log or timesheet
Matt Wood | May 24 2006
I'm moving soon, so I've been doing a lot of logistical chores like setting up new utilities, scheduling painters/movers/installations/etc, and I find myself needing to remember exactly when I spoke to people, what we talked about, etc. I'm starting to think I need to keep a task log, just a list of what I do each day so I can reference this information easily, instead of piecing it together through emails or recent calls on my phone. Not a journal; I'm not talking about writing prose here, just timestamps, who/what/when/where. Does anyone else do this, or do you have a clever way to associate this info with the associated NA that triggered the contact in the first place? 1 Comment

I do this at work...Submitted by patrickrhone on May 24, 2006 - 8:31am.
I do this at work digital style using a page on Textpander for time stamping and automated typing of regular tasks. I find it to be of great use and plan to use it to show my boss how many interruptions I deal with during the course of a day so she understands why someone who works so hard at Getting Things Done finds it so hard to actually get things done. » POSTED IN:
