PM Daily Time Audit Log 2026

A structured one-week time audit log for Australian dental Practice Managers — 8 pages covering five daily activity logs, a weekly summary table with Resolve benchmark comparisons, and six guided reflection questions. Log every activity as you go for one full week and discover exactly where your time is actually going — before you try to change it.

You cannot manage your time until you know where it goes. Most Practice Managers are genuinely surprised by what their time audit reveals — typically 70–80% of their week on tactical and operational tasks, and very little on the strategic work that actually moves the practice forward.

Part of the Resolve PM Time Management and Productivity Pack. Works alongside the PM Time Management Guide, PM Ideal Week Blueprint, and PM Weekly Reflection & Planner.

What's Included:

Category Key
Nine activity categories: ADM (Administration), FIN (Financial), STR (Strategic/Planning), PPL (People/HR), MKT (Marketing), MNT (Maintenance/Compliance), MTG (Meetings), INT (Interruptions), OTH (Other). Each activity is also classified as S (Strategic — working ON the business) or T (Tactical/Operational — working IN the business).

Five Daily Logs — Monday through Friday
Each day has a full activity log table with columns for: start time, duration (minutes), activity description, category, strategic or tactical classification, could be delegated (Y/N), and notes. Each day closes with a daily summary row totalling hours by category, plus percentage of strategic vs tactical tasks, biggest time use of the day, and what could have been delegated.

Weekly Time Audit Summary
A complete weekly summary table — total hours per category across all five days, percentage of week, and comparison to Resolve Dental Consultancy benchmarks: Administration (25–35%), Financial (15–20%), Strategic/Planning (25–30%), People/HR (18–25%), Maintenance/Compliance (5–10%), Meetings (track — reduce if >20%), Interruptions (track — aim to reduce), Strategic work total (target >25%), and Tactical/Operational total (target <75%).

Six Guided Reflection Questions
Structured prompts to draw out the key insights from the week's data: what surprised you most, which category consumed the most time and whether that was the right priority, how much of your time was strategic, which activities could be delegated and to whom, your biggest interruption sources and what boundary could reduce them, and the one change you will make to next week's time management.
