01I Tracked My Work Hours for a Month
Hello, everyone. I'm a junior accountant in Manila. I always felt busy, but I didn't know where my time went. So, for one month, I wrote down everything I did at work.
皆さん、こんにちは。私はマニラの新人会計士です。いつも忙しいと感じていましたが、時間が何に使われているのか分かりませんでした。そこで1か月間、職場でしたことをすべて書きとめてみました。
02How I Did It
My method was simple. I used a spreadsheet and updated it every hour. I put each task into one of four groups: real accounting work, meetings, email, and small interruptions.
やり方は単純です。表計算ソフトを使って、1時間ごとに更新しました。それぞれの作業を、本来の会計の仕事、会議、メール、ちょっとした割り込み、の四つのグループのどれかに入れました。

03The Results
The results surprised me. Only about forty percent of my time went to real accounting work. The other sixty percent went to meetings, email, and interruptions.
結果には驚きました。本来の会計の仕事に使っていたのは、時間の約40%だけでした。残りの60%は、会議とメールと割り込みに使われていたのです。

04The Biggest Surprise
The biggest surprise was email. I checked it more than thirty times a day, and each time it took me a few minutes to focus again.
一番の驚きは、メールでした。1日に30回以上メールを確かめていて、そのたびに、また集中するまでに数分かかっていたのです。

05What I Changed
Based on this, I made three changes. I now check email only three times a day, I asked for shorter meetings, and I block one quiet hour every morning for deep work.
これをもとに、三つのことを変えました。今では、メールを確かめるのは1日3回だけにして、会議を短くしてもらうようお願いし、毎朝1時間、集中して仕事をする静かな時間を確保しています。
06One Month Later
One month later, I tracked my time again. My real work went up from forty to fifty-five percent, and I left the office on time more often.
1か月後、もう一度時間を記録しました。本来の仕事は40%から55%に増え、定時に職場を出られる日も増えました。

07Conclusion
In short, I couldn't fix my time until I measured it. Try tracking your own day for just one week. You might be surprised, too. Thank you.
つまり、時間は測ってみるまで直せなかったのです。たった1週間でいいので、自分の一日を記録してみてください。あなたも驚くかもしれません。ありがとうございました。
