First, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed about this.
When you start learning about time loss, it can feel like there’s too much to watch for, and many people worry they’ll get it “wrong.”
I want you to hear this:
You don’t have to track everything.
The most effective way to start is by picking one small area that feels manageable and useful.
Here are six common areas where people track time loss:
- Regular time check-ins
- Changes in physical environment
- Unfamiliar spending or purchases
- Tracking planned vs. actual daily events
- Physical body changes
- Reviewing past messages and communications
Each of these has its pros and cons—and not all of them are right for everyone.
That’s why I’ve created a free resource to help you figure out where to start.
It’s called the Time-Loss Awareness Tracker—and it includes:
- A gentle daily tracking tool you can use at your own pace.
- A guide to help you pick the best area to start tracking, based on your needs and comfort level.
- Simple, no-pressure prompts—plus reminders that you are not failing if you notice time loss.
