depressing numbers
I downloaded a time tracker application the other day to keep track of how many hours a day I actually do project-related (aka, billable hours) work, and how much of the day is administrative (answering emails, deleting spam, creating proposals) and interruptions (phone calls, bathroom breaks, and meals). It’s depressing. Yesterday I clocked a grand total of 2.5 hours out of nearly 11.0 that were real work. Today I clocked an amazing 3.0 hours! Ooohhh….
Crap those number are very depressing. Of course the past two days (and tomorrow will be as well) had unusual interruptions. Yesterday was a house guest. Today was babysitting Killy for a while during the day while Jen was at work — which is what I will spending time on tomorrow. I also had a very disruptive email this morning. Yikes.
