I’ve always wanted to track how I spend my day working on various projects. More often than not, I’m usually wondering how my day or week just got over while I feel nothing significant was done. One more point to add is that it’s been a while since I built something on my own. Trying to solve both problems at the same time, I build a customized time tracker for myself. The data from the last 2 weeks have been interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Not so surprised by the fact that Meetings, 1:1, and Hiring takes up most of my time.<\/li>
  2. Surprised that my coding time is 10% of total work time. Probably the above data is skewed because of the time I spent building the time tracker<\/li>
  3. I wish I could do something about improving the reading time.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    1. Surprised (and not in a good way) that the work is split equally among all the days. I expected the numbers to go down during the weekends.<\/li>
    2. Also surprised that Tuesday’s are light. I usually have most of my 1:1’s is on Tuesdays. Probably the data got skewed because I moved many meetings from Tuesday to Wednesday in the last 2 weeks.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Overall learning from this whole exercise, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Try to reduce the overall meetings. Hopefully, try to reduce it to 20% from the current 30%. <\/li>
      2. Improve the coding\/reading time during the weekends. <\/li>
      3. Spend a lot more time on the Hexagon project.<\/li>
      4. Building\/learning something new is always fun. I should do this more often. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        It was fun to build something for myself. Being the only developer and the only user gives you a lot of learning opportunities. In this case, I ended up building a small web application using React.js and made it the default app for the Raspberry Pi with a touch screen. Whenever I had any work, I had to tap the right choice during that time. Looking forward to adding more features to this time tracker in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
