if you want to find out what you did during the day I recommend a method which I found in the book “The effective executive” by Peter Drucker:
He basically says a CEO was asked how he spends his time. He says he does 33% task management, 33% working on the companies vision and 33% on educating his employees.
The advisor said “Ok lets run a test, lets write a log book. Each time you complete an activity, write down the time when you completed it and what EXACTLY you did. No writing IN POST. Only real time, otherwise your subjectivity will screw it up and you ll end up with wishful thinking”.
He ran the test for a week and the log book was analyzed. Result: He spent 90% of his time interrupting his employees with phonecalls asking if everything is going according to plan and he took many, many coffee breaks. He was extremely inefficient.
You get what I mean. This seemed extreme to me, then I tried it myself and I arrived at a similar result. I thought I worked pretty much all day, then I found out I wasted a solid 40% of my worktime with useless stuff. You only find this out if you keep the log book rigorously, dont write anything in post, example:
8am: Start
8:00 - 8:15 (15min) fetching steel
8:15 - 8:35 (20min) cutting knife shape
etc. etc. Dont leave ANYTHING out. You ll notice your efficiency goes way up because you always feel watched xD
, when to write and when not? Like if I am going to fill water for 2-3 minutes should I be writing that etc. But yeah I get the point how it’ll work, it’ll eliminate unproductive time because we’ll be mindful about it.
, It was like I didn’t stop running for a second 
, we still won by 2 points.
