Time tracking revealed that I spent gigantic amounts of time in low-energy states, with my attention wandering and easily grabbed by the internet etc. Eventually came to realize that this was my biggest problem and put a lot of effort into fixing it. Long story.

The problem with just tracking time is that time is not fungible. At different times you're in different moods, energy levels, etc. and there are different things it makes sense for you to do.

Good attention + energy management is almost the entire game in some sense. If your attention is always on the right things and you're always creating and spending energy effectively then you've made it!

Do you have any advice for getting started with time tracking? I've tried doing it in the past but didn't manage to last more than 3 hours. Though I suspect the answer is stop judging myself.

I used beeminder. They've got such nice data collection & app. each time I changed task I made a note, beeminder records the time. exporting the csv to a spreadsheet let me figure out how long I spent. It was much easier to record each time I switched contexts.
