Here's how to keep a time log. Throughout your day record the time whenever you start or stop any activity. Consider using a stopwatch to just record time intervals for each activity. You can do this during only your working time or throughout your entire day. At the end of the day, sort all the time chunks into general categories, and find out what percentage of your time is being spent on each type of activity. If you want to be thorough, do this for a week, and calculate the percentage of your total time that you spent on each type of activity. Be as detailed as possible. Note how much time you spend on email, reading newsgroups, web surfing, phone calls, eating, going to the bathroom, etc. If you get up out of your chair, it probably means you need to make an entry in your time log. I typically end up with 50-100 log entries per day.

Keeping a time log
-
immediately gain tremendous insight into where your time is actually going
-
raise your unconscious habits into your consciousness
-
what percentage of your time is being spent on each type of activity
-
Be as detailed as possible.
-
If you get up out of your chair, it probably means you need to make an entry in your time log
-
you're spending only a small fraction of your working time doing what you'd consider to be actual work
-
only finished 15 hours worth of real work
-
60 hours in my office.
-
checking email too often, excessive perfectionism doing tasks that didn't need to be done, over-reading the news, taking too much time for meals, succumbing to preventable interruptions, etc.
-
I decided to begin recording my daily efficiency ratio as the amount of time I spent on actual work divided by the total amount of time I spent in my office.
-
it would be extremely foolish to simply work longer hours
-
you most likely failed
-
trying harder actually de-motivated me and drove my efficiency ratio even lower
-
for an efficiency ratio of over 80%
-
25 hours of work done with only 30 hours total spent in my office
-
When you have tight time constraints, you will usually find a way to get your work done.
-
gradually increasing my total weekly office time
-
40 hours of real work done every week
-
while only spending about 45 total hours in my office
-
I still gained plenty of time to pursue personal interests.
-
your gut feelings about your productivity are closely related to how much real work you actually get done.

Once your brain realizes that working time is scarce, you suddenly become a lot more efficient because you have to be. When you have tight time constraints, you will usually find a way to get your work done. But when you have all the time in the world, it's too easy to be inefficient.

Have you ever had the experience of looking back on your week with the sinking feeling that you didn't get as much done as you'd hoped? When building a successful career or a business of your own, your time is perhaps your most valuable asset, and your income is a direct result of how you spend your time. You cannot buy any more time than you're given, and the clock is always ticking. A few years ago, I discovered a simple system that allowed me to nearly triple my productivity, and in this article I'll share some very practical ideas you can apply right away to increase your effectiveness without working any harder than you do now.
