Tracking Your Time with an Audit Chart

A time audit can help you carefully track your time, in 30-minute increments, over the course of a week. This detailed picture of what youre doing each day can help you determine if youre spending your time on the tasks and activities you want and need to be doing. Heres how to do a time audit: 1. Choose a typical weekthat is, one in which youre not on vacation, at a conference, or otherwise doing something you dont generally do for more than a day at a time. 2. Print a copy of this chart. Be sure to print in landscape format so you get the full chart. 3. For each half hour, write down what youve done, being as specific as possible (e.g., answered client e-mails instead of just e-mail). You dont need to track things you do in long, unbroken chunkssuch as sleepingby the half-hour. 4. At the end of the week, review your chart. Which tasks and activities did you spend the most time on? Which did you spend the least time on? Can you identify any time sinksthat is, activities that wound up taking much more of your time than you intended? Where would you like to make improvements?
