A handful of useful script snippets. Some are meant to be sourced in your .bashrc, others executed.
Source them in your .bashrc to have them take effect.
A handy script for adding timing data to output lines. Since we're corrupting your output anyway by adding data to it, we go the distance and also tag each line with STDERR or STDOUT, depending on which stream it was emitted on. And we keep them separate in our own output, too. Arguments are eval'd as raw bash code. Because I use bash. If you want to fix it, go grab the current user's preferred shell, and feed the arguments as commands into that inside the subshell. Maybe with a pipe? Or using something like $sh <( printf '%s\n' "$@" ), and let bash feed it a fifo.
$ ./timetrace.sh "echo hi"

$ ./timetrace.sh ">&2 echo hi"
Wed 29 Apr 2020 08:16:05 PM EDT: STDERR: hi
