I don't know if it's the quickest, but the best way to do them is to win a bunch of Cannes Lions, get promoted and then let your assistant fill them out based on your calendar.

I always have my timesheet open and try to log my time every 30-60 minutes, like when I wrap up a meeting or come to a good pausing point in a project. It’s quick and easy and when my day is done, my timesheet is already done.

If I don’t do this, I have a really hard time estimating how much time I spent on the multiple projects I touch by the end of the day. I have a terrible perception of time lol.

I use a free account on Toggl Track, copy and paste the job code and title from my hot sheet or the Ziflow notification, and let it run like a taxi meter. At the end of the week it takes me about 20 minutes to copy-paste those codes and daily time counts into the actual timesheet app online

like

at the end of each day, write down hours by project - Evernote, a word doc, stickies on your computer, actual post it notes. repeat for the week. at the end of the week, fill out your timesheet.

Save commonly used codes as a template, fill out meetings first at start of day and then at end fill in with the “work” itself.

Whilst taking a sh*t on the toilet seat on your smartphone.

Every Monday morning I check my resourcing and make a handwritten chart that I then fill in throughout the week 😅 prime Type A behavior

Has anyone ever mentioned to a recruiter any hesitations you had about taking the job? I’m hearing a certain company I’m interviewing with is short staffed and is doing 80+-hour weeks and frequent weekends. I kind of want to mention what I’ve heard about the poor work/life balance and feel it out, but the recruiter is internal with the company so I don’t want to insult them.
