SayPro About Activity Logs

  • An Activity Log (also known as an Activity Diary or a Job Activity Log) is a written record of how you spend your time.
  • By keeping an Activity Log for a few days, you can build up an accurate picture of what you do during the day, and how you invest your time. You’ll find that memory is quite a poor guide, and that keeping the Log is an eye-opening experience!
  • Your Activity Log will also help you understand whether or not you’re doing your most important work during the right time of day. For instance, if you’re more energetic and creative in the morning, you’d be better off doing your most important work during this time. You can then focus on lower energy tasks, such as responding to emails or returning calls, in the afternoon.
  • Activity Logs are also useful for helping you identify non-core activities that don’t help you meet important objectives. For example, you might spend far more time than you think surfing the Internet, or getting coffee each afternoon. When you see how much time you’re wasting on such activities, you can then change the way that you work to eliminate them.
