Probably the most important problem for every successful freelancer is optimizing the use of working time . If you were wondering how much of the total time you work and how much you pretend that you work, then this post is for you.
There are a huge number of services and opportunities for managing time, and frankly, this is not the most important issue that needs to be addressed, because it periodically turns out that it takes a lot more time to write down your plans in a diary or organizer than to implement this task.
The main thing, I think, is the usual analysis of what we do on the most ordinary day. Having complete statistics and carrying out a full analysis, it will be easy to understand whether you are working effectively or not.
Before you deal with the distribution of time use between projects, you need to go down to the bottom - to understand what time is spent on a computer.
One of the assistants in this matter for me was the True Time Tracker program . The program is quite simple, but effective, runs seamlessly, but provides enough data for a full analysis.
With detailed settings - you can keep a complete record of the time spent on each of the projects, and in general.
Here is an example report - showing the time that was spent on individual programs for the week. As you can see, the main time in the work of the seo optimizer is spent on the browser.
Another report is visited sites where time is spent (working draft is anointed)
It is useful to have information about which sites spend information on a given day.
You can also see how much time the computer was working, and how much it was idle.
It is also possible to view data for a specific day on the applications used.
There is an opportunity to collect data on the activity of time use per week.
Thanks to such a simple program you can get a clear picture of the use of working time at the computer.
After analyzing the report, you can make conclusions about what you should not do, which sites to block in the firewall and which programs to remove (by the way, this program can be useful to department managers.
The second free tool is ManicTime . This program provides more detailed information on the time spent and allows the grouping of certain sites and programs.
With proper grouping at the exit, we will have a clear understanding of what time is spent on. The program has a nice appearance and allows you to do almost any slices on the use of the working
Almost no one can cope with the desire to sit on that website, watch this blog, and so on, although we all understand that this is useless and will not bring us material and spiritual good (themed blogs for the information you need are of course exceptions).
In our office, I decided on the router to block the contact and youtube, and labor productivity has grown significantly. A constant analysis of the use of working time through the above programs allows you to see how busy my schedule is and how much I pretend that I'm working.
