A few weeks into my new role, my manager sent out message to the team. “Please document everything you do throughout the day.”

That was it. No clarification. Just “everything”

So I opened a spreadsheet. I tracked when I logged in. When I checked email. When I got water. When I went to the bathroom. When I returned from the bathroom. When I adjusted my monitor brightness.

Each task had a time, a duration, and a description.

After about ten days, I got a calendar invite titled “Process clarification.” Apparently, they didn’t mean everything everything.

Now the rules is “log major task only.” I can work with that.
