I first watched this video worried that tracking my time would give me anxiety but I started doing it and it has been a huge help!! Doesn't make me anxious bc time tracking doesn't work like a countdown
I'm rewatching this and I'm really wishing that you'd create a podcast someday!!
I've been doing that too😁
@@swarna5353, if you post productivity videos I will subscribe and like every video! 😁
Also rewatching this! I forgot her name and lost the channel but this helped me so much a few years ago! Can’t wait to get back to this method.
Congrats on getting monetized!
hii, i really like your channel and i'd love it if you could make a 'how to plan' video, because i am very bad at planning my time when i have homework haha (i always seem to make my planning very unrealistic :). love your content!!
This is so good! I’ve been using this app and dang how much time I waste it’s insane!! I’ve been getting better
This video is Gold! You just discussed about all the challenges and their solutions. Well done
I’m almost at the end of my week of tracking! Thanks for sharing about this app, it’s so much simpler than a lot of the other ones. But I am finding tracking everything a bit draining tbh 🤪 I think I will keep doing it but just track my work-from-home hours. Although maybe every few months I’ll do another full week of tracking everything to see if I’ve improved! Anyway just wanted to thank you for this video! I’m so amazed at how organised and professional you are for a highschool/college student, I aspire to be like you👏🏻✨
I once had a job and coworkers I loved and a new boss came in whom I despised and made us use toggle on the desktop. I resented it so much, as did all of us in the art department. 😂😂😂 but I think I need to take your advice and figure out where my time is actually going. I have so many life responsibilities and I’ve been feeling recently like it’s taking over everything. I also think I waste entirely too much time on Instagram. I have done the pomodoro technique before and it made me acutely aware of how fast 25 minutes will pass when I’m editing photos or videos. Thanks for the pdf and recommendation on the app. As usual you are wise beyond your years and I’m going to take your advice. Again. 😂😂
@@TheBlissBean You would never be the manipulative, evil person she was. I understand the value in the time tracking....it was really just that she traumatized me so much. lol! I figured out a perfect application for the time tracker you recommend. I am going to set it up to track my sewing and knitting projects. I do them over weeks sometimes here and there, and have no idea how long something takes. I just finished a beautiful hoop of an embroidered pine tree last night. I have no clue how long it took. It sat as a work in progress for weeks and weeks, and then I decided last week I was going to jump in and finish it. And I would like to track a video recipe and photo shoot from start to full completion. I have no idea how long it takes me to actually produce a recipe video and corresponding blog post.
These are all things that would be super helpful to know. And way freaking easier to use that app than toggle on the desktop.
Expense tracking is the only tracking activity I can enjoy for the last 2-3 years and it makes me much more aware of where my money gone. I can have a slight sense of control over my life and it's amazing. And then I felt the urge to track my daily activity, couldn't be that hard I thought.
It's painfully hard, LOL!
this video changed my life ... so helpful
Thanks 💜
This time tracking thing is something I’m curious about for the past few months, and the more I hear about it the more it reminds me of counting calories/macros, or tracking spendings, where it starts kinda hard, gets more natural and easier by time passing, then after having an overview collected in about 1 year I stop tracking those things because now I can predict my guidelines
I'm glad I found this. I was just thinking the other day, too, man I really wish I was time tracking my tasks. It would save me the guessing game angst. And found that time tracking isn't that popular. Needless to say definitely subscribed. I have since come back to edit this, I dislike boosted. In fact, I tried so many android based apps and none them really do it for me. They're not as intuitive as you think they would be, and it says a lot coming from someone who designs websites. I'm really picky too, thankfully I have an iPad, so I got Now Then free to try it out and hopefully this is the one for me.
Thank you for this video and especially for all the resources in the description! Good continuation
I just startet with time tracking thanks to you and I LOVE it! So helpful!!
I am so so so happy I found your channel, thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I’ve tried time tracking a bunch of times over the years but have never been able to make it work long enough or consistently enough to learn anything from it.
Being able to setup categories I’m advance in the app you recommended sounds SO HELPFUL. In toggl, to track time I have to manually type out what I’m doing. Great foe detail, but not so good for ease of use.
I also really appreciate the PDF list. Thanks for all of this!
so so happy to see the video was useful to you! thank you for sending that comment 🤗
really excited about this video and this app!!
Thank you so much for this video and the pdf! ✨
I found your channel yesterday and I love your videos! This video really inspired me to start time tracking :)
Greetings from Belguim 💕
Omg which city & are you gonna vlog it ? Maybe I’ll meet you :)
This video has helped me so much! This video was really good :)
I'll come back to this video after downloading your recommending App! Thank you for very detailed and friendly explanation.
omg this is the first time i actually understood what time tracking is and how it helps,, i might just try it since i'm going back to uni after a gap year in like 3 weeks. thanks beatrice 💜(also peep at those bts videos you were watching haha)
I've downloaded two apps on Android, then I would need to see again the video haha you speak so fluently the things that you made and why! I'm so impressed! Also the things that you wrote, they hadn't occurred to me, never 🤔😂
gonna love ur videos! you help me to learn better english, thank you
This video is TIMELESS. ❤
your video is so much helpful!
Thanks so much for the video was super informative and clear
Tracking things I want to maximize. Thanks, that's advice I can use. Useful practical video
I'll also realise it's worth it to do pomodoro execution through the same app
Best video I ever watched. Thank you.
Planning to do this! Thankyou ❤️
omg I love your channel so much
Love this! Going to try my hardest to get this going. It must be done! Did you end up posting the PDF with category examples? I don't seem to see it
OH! nevermind :) I see it on the blog. Thank you!
Time blocking is the best! Great video.
I measured my time in 10 min blocks recently. Made a video about it too.
Thank you for all your content.
Awesome content man!
Checked out your channel. It's great. Keep it up.
I have my own way of automating time tracking by using rombi productivity product.
Another helpful video again! :))
Beatrice, a big thank you from here in Brazil.
I just saw your video on time tracking and it is very helpful! I went to try to download your resource on categories for ideas. I saw that it was no longer on there. I was wondering if there was a way to get that resource?
You are AWESOME! Love your stuff and love your wink hahaha
very useful, great video keep it up 😁
Very helpful ,,I enjoy the video ❤
Hello Beatrice, I wanna ask what font did you used in this vid's thumbnail? Thanks
Thank you very much Beatrice, God bless you
Hi Beatrice, Do u have a video on how to maintain. To do list for day or week?... thoroughly impressed with the clarity of thoughts 🍭
I think I have a video where I talk about how I use teuxdeux, and a video about how i do digital planning :)
@@TheBlissBean ok..will check that... stay blessed.
Loved the video thank you
So then do you use this like instead of your calendar 📅 app on your phone?
3:20 you can use manic time or rescue time for desktop
Thanks
I found exactly what I wanted.
I really need to become good at time tracking because of my work but just the thought of it makes my soul wilt and die. I think it's so awesome that some people do it and it works for them, but thinking of having something with me at all times and having to click start and stop for everything is just... no. I really need to find a twist to it that can make it less dreadful to me.
This though! Like, I will either never remember to start and/or stop the timer orrr I will be completely obsessed for like a few days and get tired of the tediousness of it and just give up.
What app exactly do you use? I can't find it in the description
Do you have a podcast? It will be really useful to listen to this whilst chaos pr cleaning my room
The Bliss Bean looking forward to it💃🏽 i actually decluttered my whole space in 2 days watching a lot of your productivity videos and used some of your decluttering tips and i never felt more lighter so thank you😂✨
Heyyyy absolutely loves this video🥰🧚🏽. On the App Store there’s two now then pro apps a red and blue one. Ones free and the other is R50. Wanted to ask if I can use the blue one ???
I believe the blue one is just a "lite" version of the full one, I"m not exactly sure what they limit you on, but you can definitely try the blue version as a trial first before buying the full (red) version!
Thank.Your channel its helpful.
This video is a-maz-ing.
What is a good android alternative for this Now Then Pro app?
Hi Beatrice, I am wondering if there is an updated link for the Masterlist PDF 🙇🏻
How many tasks are available for the free version of the app now then?
Yes
I didn't know I needed this but oh boy I was wrong 🤓🤓 I've been time blocking my calendar for a while now but during the summer it is not really working.... 🙈
But I guess the app is not on android ://
@@jennah94 there are lots of other nice ones tho
@@zYuL05 Do you have anything to recommend?
hey! thank you for this video, it was extremely helping- like your channel, don't know how I haven't found it yet but Im glad I did!! 🙏 unfortunately I can't enter the site in order to downland the pdf- the link is no longer available. can you please assist? it would be really helpful.
Heyo! Yes I think this is one that I've "retired" haha, does this Google Drive link work for you? drive.google.com/file/d/1Au253azzRKDKQ5dAZ4HNrBPsCud16JBw/view?usp=sharing
yesss thank you!@@TheBlissBean
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
IT WAS HELPFUL FOR ME...
@@TheBlissBean ...
you're welcome sweetheart 💕💕
Did anyone else get the pdf???
I clicked the link but the site is not responding
Thanks
I really appreciate the content of your video based on your 2 years experience of tracking your time but as yourself mentioned 4:20 "theoretically you could also do this on paper but it's 2019, so just get an app..." so take a step back from your habits to 7:56 "fill-up a post-it with all the info..." and reconsider to use Clockify: not only the app but also the browser to better review your percentage by "why" (or client in Clockify vocabulary). In Clockify you can set your "what" as project and you can even set a third dimension with tag to solve your hesitation between recording the time for driving or podcast listening. Also you can select "billable" which will lead you to delete your "Money Making" category and implement the whats in more appropriate "why".
Which led me to your categories 10:20 driving should be not a stand-alone "why", as it clearly belongs to the truth "why" activity you are undertaking. Or think about it the other way: would you spend time driving if you didn't do this activity? Same for "getting ready": what if you would just stay home? or getting ready for chores isn't the same as for exercising ;) Resume belongs to your working activities.
I'm fully agree with the "phone time" but not with the family one: I developed the following concept: enriching or achieving? If enriching, then both friends or family members record the time under "who". If achieving, then both persons record the time under "what". In case that one would rather accompanying or supporting the other, then then one will record the time in "who" and the other records the time in the "what".
I guess you got my point: you should NOT track the "how" (driving, texting, emails...) but rather the "what" & "who" (eventually the "where" of your excursions and the "when" for planing things which aren't clearly belong to a "why")
I would love to exchange with you about this topic and how to make the best of all time, both for professional productivity but also to best manage our own ressources! I sent you an email and I'm looking forward to your reply ;) I wish you a great start in 2021!
Thank
google calendar is great
I just found this video and I was looking forward for the pdf but apparently it has expired and I don't know if she is still active in yt. Can anyone help me out with the pdf?
And I can't find now then pro in play store. Goddd I wish I had searched about time tracking back in 2019
Thankyou for such a helpful video!
Some users above write about toggle time tracker. But I use checkiant.com and very satisfied with it.
Toggle rescue time and clockify
❤
How can I literally not find the pdf in the description am I blind?
Beatrice, please write a book!!
The Bliss Bean Oh gosh, anything. I know you make videos about how you stay organized but I think people would enjoy written work too, or maybe something you’ve never talked about.
How I wish this app would be available for Android as well...
What's the name of the app? Is it available in the US
The app is called Now Then Pro, yes it is!
You're awesome. As always, those cool iphone apps aren't available for android -.-
ATimeLogger :)
@@leggermentesara yea but the one she showed is so beautifully designed
and subscribed :)
hmmm nice content
Now then pro
I don’t think the link to the pdf works anymore😢
yeahh sorry this is one I've "retired"! let me know if this Google Drive link works for you drive.google.com/file/d/1Au253azzRKDKQ5dAZ4HNrBPsCud16JBw/view?usp=sharing
Where’s the pdf
The Bliss Bean Is it the video on how to stop procrastinating??
When I follow the link to your time tracking page by copying and pasting it the link doesn't work for me... Is anyone else having this problem? I found the page through google.
I loved this video! I have android so I can't use the app you do (so sad because it looks simple but effective) so I am experimenting with Toggl. Your categories have been SO helpful! That was the hardest part for me.
@@TheBlissBean oh I didn't catch that either! 😊
Same. I'm using boosted
1:17 Pessimistic/Fatalistic/Depressive people: Allow me to introduce myself
I wish I could be her friend.
1:11 I believe this has more to do with lack of technique than an inherent problem, you just weren't trained to look for things like a chess grandmaster, pro gambler, Investigator and Superforecaster is.
I think it is stressful and can't do it for whole life
She is really cute
Hey Darling , I love you
U r treat to heart and eyes 😍
