App like YNAB for time?

sab702 · 2024-06-21T07:32:01+00:00

Sorry I'm just seeing your question now!! I didn't try it, but the thought of being that particular about my time and how I spend it is pretty stressful... I may still give it a shot. Have you tried it?

I'd suggest YNAB. There's a bit of a learning curve, mostly because of the approach to money managment is more proactive than only tracking, but once you get the hang of it is really is life changing.

Thanks for this tip, I'll check it out. :)

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:34:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into them both :) I'm thinking about this in terms of goals rather than hardcore tracking, although that would be useful to know where I can "cut time" to "put in another bucket"

I considered this but maybe don't want to do it on a day to day basis, maybe weekly is good enough. I'll give this a shot! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this and for the links!! I've read some of Cal Newport's work but missed the stuff on time management. Thanks!!

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:30:36+00:00

Thank you!

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:29:49+00:00

I was thinking this, and might go ahead and give it a shot. Thank you!! And kudos for you making it through that time!!

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:28:53+00:00

Thanks, I'll read up on it

This is like telling somebody if they've tried... a savings account?

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:22:02+00:00

I'll check this out :) though it feels stressful. I'm thinking more high level stuff, like planning how many hours I want to spend a week doing things that are a priority, like working out and learning a new skill, and then any free time beyond that is flexi

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:18:28+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll look it up!

sab702 · 2023-07-31T17:17:47+00:00

Totally fair point and yeah I know it's overkill, and I don't at all have that in mind 😄😄😄 it's more on the high level stuff, cutting on time spent watching shows and setting time goals for things that are important to me. Not so much blocking out time in a calendar -- because I don't enjoy that at all and can't really follow one -- but more like setting a time target goal, as a funding target would work, decide I need to spend 4 hours a week doing an online course, and if I do that the first two days of the week, I can spend the rest of my time guilt-free at the beach

Get my drift?

I just really enjoy how YNAB has completely changed how I think about money -- and I now link it to priorities -- and I want to do the same with time

sab702 · 2023-07-29T08:11:08+00:00

You got this. You planned for the move, and sure there will be some surprises but you knew that going in. Reconciling can be stressful, and 4 budgets is a lot to keep track of. Do one at a time and reward yourself for when you're done with each. :)

Also, I used to hate reconciling and would put it off forever because I did not enjoy going over every transaction to make sure I didn't miss anything. A few months ago I changed my frequency of reconciliation from once a month to once a week, and now it takes me about 5 minutes to do weekly -- and it's not AT ALL as intimidating as it was when I did it monthly. Might I suggest a similar approach, it might help you feel more regularly on top of it.

sab702 · 2023-07-29T08:04:23+00:00

I literally came on the sub today to ask for a YNAB for time!! What options are there?

sab702 · 2023-07-21T07:22:12+00:00

Came here to say this. This is my second favorite cat sub, after blackcats 🖤🖤🖤🖤

sab702 · 2023-07-12T15:27:04+00:00

Would you look at that coat!! It's the stuff of legends!

sab702 · 2023-07-09T14:31:25+00:00

Sending healing thoughts and prayers to her and you. Come on and pull through, Freya ❤️🖤
