Hi guys,

I figure I'd share the actual log I used and discussed with Charles (@gmatninja)

Here is my actual log.

In the first 2 years I was working in consulting. From later 2018 to 2019 I was working in consulting then transitioned to a senior role in a startup (Head type role).

I sprawled through this for personal data that needed to be removed, but I couldn't see anything, so I hope i haven't missed anything!

This is it ... this is unmodified.

Id say that overall I probably studied closer to 2.4-2.5k hours as I didn't log certain weeks and certain times.

Logging helped me build a consistent and strong habit of study, so if this helps you also I can put up a clear version of the template..
