Ask HN: Have you ever tried measuring the time you spend digitally?
1. Yes! It's very useful
2. Yes but it's not useful
3. No but sounds interesting
A good breakdown is as follows:
writing code/tests/documentation: 33%
procrastinating (includes HN): 29%
design: 13%
debugging: 8%
task/team management: 8%
testing: 4%
waiting for compile: 4%
There were some patterns. Early morning and post-siesta were creative moments. These were perfect for design/debug/task management. Late morning were tired-focused moments. These were perfect for menial tasks, i.e. code and documentation.
When you're creative, your brain jumps all over the place, which also makes it prime procrastination moments. Focus is a bug; the human brain was not built for it. Which might be why many people code best late at night.
do whatever you want, you aren't a robot that could understand 'oh wow, i spend a lot of time watching youtube! I should study instead'
nobody would follow/pay for this, people know when they are procrastinating and wasting time
