Time tracking is documenting the results of your [[Time blocking]] . To find true use in it, you need to take it seriously. Every time you start the timer, you declare your intention by filling out what you will be doing, and you make a [[Ulysses Contract]] to commit to it until your [[Time blocking]] requirement. Whenever I feel like going on my phone or getting distracted, I remember the commitment I made to myself, to follow my schedule until the next time block on my calendar. Once you are done, you declare it is over by stopping the timer and moving on to the next thing, helping you with [[Transitioning Between Activities]]
