That's brutal. I pulled it up on rabbit ears. Magical free Oscars from the ether...

Thank you for this. I've been doing similar internal tracking and using it to create reserved calendar blocks, and it has made all the difference for making informed decisions about my time. I truly don't get the intense resistance against tracking your paid work. Mostly, it helps me find time!

CHARLIE ANGUS CALLS FOR GLOBAL BOYCOTT OF USA YouTube video by Charlie Angus
