TimeBack
Zackary Xu
Founder
I started TimeBack to help young people take ownership of their time and work toward goals they care about.
“Time management takes practice. It’s about making time for the goals and people you care about, and building habits that help you follow through on your responsibilities.”
How TimeBack began
TimeBack began with the idea that young people should have opportunities to learn how to manage their time, through practice and conversations with peers.
Zackary founded TimeBack at Carlmont High School in 2026 and assembled a team to bring its workshops into schools and communities.
In 2026, Zackary received a prize in Carlmont’s Youth Engagement Capacity Building pitch competition. Scot Scoop’s coverage of the competition
