To better get things done, I am trying TheDailyGrind widget to keep track of my time. Rather than recording all working projects, which I tried and failed before, now I just organize them in categories:
Planning time: early morning, late afternoon before leaving office, or anytime when I check Oracle Calendar or iCal ... NO more missed appointments.
Productive time: precious minutes that I should be using for writing, teaching preparation, or any last-minute deadline rush ... they are simply too many!
Administrative time: dealing with "Action" emails, attending meetings, and managing all sorts of official chores.
Slack time: reading, notes taking, writing blogs, making phone calls, or dealing with "Action" emails ... this is my break.
Garbage time: checking emails, reading news, instant messaging, listening to podcasts... endless ways to easily run out of my time!
Not to mention, this post is written in my "slack time."
