If it has to be excel, go for a Kanban board style template. But I would recommend using an app that does a lot of these for you. I love Microsoft Project b/c of the built in dashboards and Kanban style. There's also Asana, and trello can be very good but with more button pushing manual work.

I use my sent mail and calendar to track my time. Just can’t have ADD and multitask between email and client work. Email is the productivity killer I set specific times for this first thing and at days end or when I complete a task.

Trello maybe?

If you’re on Microsoft 365 check out MS Planner, you can manage tasks and group them by topic. It’s free and quite intuitive. You can schedule reminders and include others too!

If someone does I would love to see it as well.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
