Anyone else seriously struggle with getting timesheets done on time? I swear I want to stay on top of them, but I always end up scrambling last minute. Is it just me?

That's one of those things where I just have some kind of mental block about doing it. I'm sure I spend more time thinking about doing it than actually doing it. And once I do it, I'm asking myself why I waited. And then... next week, same thing!

My boss is the reason my time sheets never get done on time! He's the 👑 of "one more thing..." He constantly yells from his office to mine saying, "Hey, one more thing, can you call...? Oh, one more thing, we need to...." I have to come in on the weekend to do it!

I’m the one who sends out "gentle reminders" to the team about timesheets. But then I’m over here scrambling to piece together what I did all week.

I set timers as I do things. I started it just to geek out on some data to determine how much time I spent per exec and each task type. But once I got into that habit I stuck with it. Now I always have my sheets done on time. Bonus, when someone randomly asks me how much time I spend on expenses, or something like that, I can actually tell them instead of guessing.

Put a time block on your calendar say around 4pm to enter your work for the day. That way it's a reminder

Today I was watching an old No Reservations episode, where Bourdain was talking about how the Khmer Rouge erased all prior history in Cambodia and made their regime start at Year Zero.

What will happen to our country if everything is destroyed - first, statues; next, the history books; following this, people’s homes and livelihoods; and finally, death to people who don’t agree with the new regime.
