Poor time tracking can lead to unbilled hours, misaligned resources, and weak performance insights. The common barriers—such as unclear expectations, inefficient tools, and cultural resistance—stem from a disconnect between effort and perceived value. Without consistent tracking, organizations lose critical insights into operations, while staff feel burdened by manual processes.


The best way to think about how to get good at time tracking is to approach it like any other habit you are trying to create. It can take 30 days or more to build habits and in order to make them work you need daily engagement with them. Use Produce8 to help support those efforts in your team and try to have some fun with it. Everyone wins when you get it right. 

Building a new habit takes time!

Building a Habit for Daily Time Tracking 

Messaging tools are indispensable for communication and collaboration. However, their constant notifications can significantly disrupt focus and productivity. 

With effective configuration, you’ll notice fewer, longer duration interactions in messaging apps, indicating more efficient and meaningful communication and more time left to focus.

Challenge Outcome

Messaging Minimalism

Batching emails is a time management technique where you allocate specific time slots throughout the day exclusively for checking and responding to emails, instead of constantly monitoring and reacting to each new message as it arrives. This approach is designed to reduce the frequent interruptions and distractions caused by email, allowing you to focus more effectively on other tasks and maintain a higher level of productivity.

You should notice reduced average interactions and increased average duration in the app, with overall time spent in the app remaining consistent. The heatmap will visually confirm concentrated use during your designated email batching periods.

Named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, this productivity method is rooted in his decision-making philosophy. Eisenhower, a highly productive leader, managed critical responsibilities during World War II and his presidency by distinguishing between urgent and important tasks. The method gained popularity after Stephen Covey featured it in his seminal book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, solidifying its status as a cornerstone of modern time management.

The Eisenhower Matrix Challenge

The SMART Goals framework originated in 1981 when George T. Doran introduced the concept in his paper "There's a S.M.A.R.T. Way to Write Management’s Goals and Objectives." The acronym was designed to help managers and teams create clear and actionable goals that drive results. Over time, it became a widely adopted methodology in personal and professional settings, particularly for project management and team collaboration. By ensuring that goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, the SMART framework helps individuals and groups achieve clarity, alignment, and accountability.
