Time analysis

Dec 10 to Dec 16


Sleep	50 hours	~ 7.1 hours per day
Work	47 hours	Some overtime handling non-project requests
Personal	17 hours	Android hacking, etc.
Preparation	16 hours
Social	14 hours
Writing	9 hours	New posts (not cc:world mail)
Travel	8 hours	Includes some time wandering around downtown Toronto
Break	2 hours
Exercise	2 hours

~ 4 hours untracked

More time spent on formal work this week than last week. Good work,
but feeling a bit stretched. Lots of Android hacking during weekends
and one of the evenings. I’m happier when I go to bed early and wake
up early than when I go to bed late and end up hitting snooze in the
morning. Might look into mood tracking so that I can quantify this. It
would be a good opportunity to learn more about what I can add or
subtract from my day.
