Instructions
Ultimately it is up to you how you manage your time, but a potentially useful way to manage/record your time using toggl is to create the toggl entries for each sprint before you start. For Example:
Step 1. Create ten toggl entries (Figure 1)
- Sprint 1 Tech
- Sprint 1 Human Skills
- Sprint 2 Tech
- Sprint 2 Human Skills
- etc.
Figure 1: Creating toggl entries for each sprint
Step 2. Use desktop App to track time (Figure 2)
Every time you are working on the course material, use the appropriate entry. Include workshops and check-ins. At the end of the sprint, you'll be able to reflect on how long you spent on each part of the sprint.
