It's not good to over-optimize for time or else you end up being prone to [[Hustle Culture]] and treating yourself like a robot, but at the same time, if you're not mindful then you're going to live life unconsciously, on autopilot, like an NPC, or whatever other term is out there.
I use [[Toggl Track]] to track my time.
[[My time tracking workflow]]
## Why
See [[Why I have tracked my time for over a year]] for more information.
### Living a balanced life
By tracking every waking hour, I have a brutally honest reflection of how I live my daily life.
Statistics don't lie.
During my weekly review, I can view graphs that show what projects and activities I spent the most time on, whether good or bad.
Pleasing my min/maxing self, it becomes something I can tangibly optimize.
