I'm reading through An Elegant Puzzle[0]. The relevant blog post is here[1]. Larson says<p>> Quarterly time retrospective. Every quarter I spend a few hours categorizing my calendar from the past three months to figure out how I’ve invested my time. This is useful for me to reflect on the major projects I’ve done, and also to get a sense of my general allocation of time. I then use this analysis to shuffle my goal time allocation for the next quarter.<p>This is the only resource I can find online about quarterly time retrospectives... perhaps my duckduckgo-fu is poor. I assume it isn't very complicated or difficult, but I'm the kind of person that appreciates some guidance when starting a new thing. So I would like to know<p>1. do you have any resources to learn more about this process?<p>2. would you mind sharing your process?<p>- [0]: https://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Puzzle-Systems-Engineering-Management/dp/1732265186<p>- [1]: https://lethain.com/time-management/
In case anyone cares, I found that Google Calendar has the Time Insights feature which helps a lot with this <a href="https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/10738043?hl=en&visit_id=638001675932324563-3089862428&p=calendar-time-insights&rd=1" rel="nofollow">https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/10738043?hl=en&vi...</a>. Colored labels makes it very easy to see at a glance how much time you spend on things.<p>If you don't use Google Calendar I'm not sure what to suggest, except to create a different calendar for each label, and export the data into a csv and visualize it in Excel or something?
