Great post, it’s amazing to see mental health in the EA-sphere being talked about.
About time tracking, as someone who also tracks their time in little color-coded squares (or rectangles?), you start to associate some colors with negativity and others with positivity, and when you’re in a rough spot (or a ‘rut’ if I may) it can definitely make you feel like you’ve wasted the week as you glance over.
To me, that’s the biggest disadvantage of time-tracking/time-blocking, though for me the advantages vastly outweigh the disadvantages.
