I think if I had done this while I was working full time there would have been less than the 4+ hours/day spent with kids. I don't feel the need to do this now because I'm not working but if/when the time crunch happens again when I go back to work, this is a good tool.<br /><br />I think though I would really really try to get my husband to do it too. I don't think he realizes how much extra stuff I do so that he has time for his triathlon training.Melbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248392923064542646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-18674671531591710642010-09-22T19:16:40.218-07:002010-09-22T19:16:40.218-07:00@mom2boy- I celebrated BIG TIME when Pumpkin's...@mom2boy- I celebrated BIG TIME when Pumpkin's bedtime routine no longer required that I stay with her until she fell asleep. That gave me back at least 15 minutes a night- and sometimes more.<br /><br />@bean-mom- The timetracking isn't as hard as it seems. I guess I'm not intimidated by it because I used to have to charge my time in 15 minute increments at work. The key is that you note what you were doing in the previous chunk of time everytime you change tasks. It doesn't take much time at all- setting up your tracking system is the most time-consuming part.<br /><br />More posts in the series will come soon, but I have a little more thinking to do before I can write the next one!Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-49544898094699371322010-09-22T18:54:40.630-07:002010-09-22T18:54:40.630-07:00Oh god, Cloud, my head is spinning at just the tho...Oh god, Cloud, my head is spinning at just the thought of tracking my time in this kind of detail. (1) I already feel like I have no time and the thought of doing this freaks me out (2) I don't think I want to actually know how I fritter away my time.<br /><br />But interesting for me to read =) And it will be interesting to see how your life reorg goes =)The bean-momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411250616280191525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-83014270384836506902010-09-22T10:52:19.794-07:002010-09-22T10:52:19.794-07:00Okay, I'm inspired to actually do this now! I ...Okay, I'm inspired to actually do this now! I know I said I would, but then I didn't. Now I really am going to do it! I will start tomorrow morning.<br /><br />I think the key for me actually doing this is going to be keeping a notebook with me at all times to write down the 15 minute increments. I think I will have to do it on paper and then put the data into a spreadsheet. I can do that!<br /><br />As for your stuff, it really is interesting to see. I totally get wanting your hubby to do it too, so that you can compare as a family. I think it would also probably be more accurate to do a whole month, but at least you see the general trends by doing a week. Very interesting! And I knew you needed more time blogging!caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-65036050801238781532010-09-22T07:02:34.609-07:002010-09-22T07:02:34.609-07:002 hours a day on chores?

The sixty plus minutes I'm spending trying to get Tate to sleep at night again is really starting to wear on me. Thanks for sharing this.

When I first went back to work after having my son, I calculated hours spent together vs. apart and was a fiend about it. Then I came to the same conclusion you did: I spend more time with my kid than I thought I did. No guilt trips necessary.Frogs in my formulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15588651443689809504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-11879047431005774572010-09-20T22:09:50.070-07:002010-09-20T22:09:50.070-07:00I am fascinated with this, but a bit too chicken t...I am fascinated with this, but a bit too chicken to do one myself.
