# Keep a private record of your own work.

Record focused work, meetings, reviews, and the interruptions around them. With TimeRetain, you can look back at what filled your day without piecing it together from memory.

-   See the work inside your day
    
    Track your full workday alongside individual meetings and tasks, so you can see how long you worked and what filled those hours.
    
-   See where your hours went
    
    Group your work by project and activity to see how much time went to meetings, focused work, or reviews.
    
-   Explain your week in a 1:1
    
    Review a week's or month's hours before your next 1:1. Bring specific examples of the projects and activities that filled your time.
    

A calendar can show a half-hour meeting without the preparation or follow-up around it. By Friday, those missing blocks can make the week difficult to explain.

Bring a fuller record to your next workload conversation: the meeting, its preparation, and the work it left behind. Use those examples to discuss which priorities fit the week.

## Keep your own record of the working week.
