Everyone improves with a lesson learned from a failure. If we missed out on the data on how we performed we will never be able to change our errors. To miss out on the errors all we need to do is, gather our daily activities. What we did, how much time we did.And there comes the ‘highlight’ part, we should review our day every day. What we read, how we performed today. What’s to finish, what will be my priority tomorrow, and so on.

Tracking your times gives you the ability to highlight on things that you are doing, how much you spend time on Studying or Watching Youtube.
