Open a blank workbook. Stare at the grid. Don’t panic. We’re just making a list, not rocket science. Think of it as a diary, but for work.
In cell A1, type “Date.” Easy peasy. In B1, type “Start Time.” In C1, type “End Time.” Don’t close the laptop yet! You’re already halfway there.
Add the Secret Sauce: The Break
You take a lunch break, right? (Please tell me you take a lunch break.) Add D1 as “Break (minutes).” And E1? That’s the golden ticket. Type “Total Hours.” See? We’re building a fortress of accountability.
Now, highlight that entire row (A1 to E1). Make it bold. Give it a background color. I love a good pale blue. You do you. It’s your masterpiece.
