This makes a lot of sense and explains a lot of the reactions I have berm getting since tracking my concentration meticulously with Toggl.
I work as a remote consultant and track everything down to the second.
"Filling out" timesheets and answering "how much I worked" a non issue.
I've been getting accolades for how much work I accomplish... even when I clock only 3-4 hours a day.
- beambot 9y agoHow much time do you spend tracking everything? (I assume this is accounted for on a second-by-second accounting.)
- acty1 9y agoI do it on the fly as in when I context switch. Takes about 10 seconds max (copy paste ticket #, type meeting name, etc) With a context switch every 15mins or quicker... probably easily 1 minute or 1.5 minutes per hour of work. So somewhere like 1-2% "tax" on my time. In practice though...I feel like an athlete and training my concentration and tracking results. Having those few seconds sometimes helps you align efforts better
- asciimo 9y agoThanks for the Toggl suggestion. I use RescueTime but it's very unstable on Linux. I will try this out.
- mcjiggerlog 9y agoI've been using Qbserve [1] to track my productivity and it has been super helpful. It divides your time up into Productive (iTerm, AWS...), Neutral (Email, Slack...) and Distracting (Reddit, Facebook...). I've found if I get 5 productive hours in in a work day then it's been a very productive day. [1] https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/ https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/
