The templates
Journal and time templates to print.
Each template has its own page with the PDF, a filled-in example and how to use it.
Which one
How to choose a template.
Choose a template by what you want to learn. The daily journal template keeps the day in words, with a small table of hours. The time log keeps an exact record, line by line. The hourly planner puts a plan beside what really happened.
The three work together. A week of time logs is a time audit. A daily journal page with hours is time journaling on paper.
Paper or app
Paper templates and the app.
Paper templates are quick to start and need nothing but a pen. Adding up the hours by hand is the slow part.
Think in Numbers, a smart journaling app with time tracking built in, does the adding up. You write or say your day, and it returns the hours by category, with the rest shown as unaccounted.
