I tracked my time hourly and reflected on it daily for a couple years; was useful overall, and the patterns became very obvious after about a year and it wasn't as valuable after. There's a next step: attention + energy are even more valuable than time and even less tracked.https://twitter.com/johnloeber/status/1112104077041627136 …

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.

I'm really interested in what you tried to fix this, and what worked and what didn't. I definitely have this problem and I'm trying to rectify it.

To start, I've removed all notification-producing or attention diverting apps from my phone (including the browser). This has helped a lot, but I still need to do roughly the same thing with the computer that I use to do work on, and possibly also the environment in which I work.

whoa, no browser on your phone. that is rather unusual... do you jot down things you need to look up? is internet-context really tied to the room where your computer is?
