Tamara Pavlovic

Tamara Pavlovic is a productivity author and researcher at Clockify. She believes that life is a marathon and not a sprint and that with great organization you can achieve all your goals.

After obtaining her Master`s degree in English Language and Literature from the Faculty of Philology, Belgrade she worked in several positions with hundreds of clients.

Whether it was teaching English, translating technical documents, working as a customer support representative, or holding onboarding trainings there was always one thing in common with all the people she has worked with. They all talked about the lack of time, and how tired they were trying to accomplish all the daily tasks ahead of them.

Since she was already interested in the topic, reading books about productivity, and trying out different techniques, she started to go even deeper in her research. Eventually, helping people manage their everyday lives has become her mission.

Somewhere along the line, she found her first freelance writing gig, and after writing the very first article, she knew that writing was the career path she wanted to pursue. So, the love of helping others become and feel productive and the love for writing present the perfect combination for her.

She spends most of her free time with her family, going out on trips, cooking, reading books, and riding horses. Her goal is to spend as little time as possible doing chores, and much more time gaining new experiences. Luckily, with plenty of productivity hacks up her sleeve, she has time for everything.
