Only 15 days with more than 12 hours total put in? What kind of startup are you :~) ?

Seriously, that's some really good real-world confirmation about what kind of time real startups are putting in.

Use rescuetime! You'll be very disappointed that you don't work nearly as long as you think you do.

It's really just a re-normalization though.

Alas, no love for linux...

There is an open-source Linux RescueTime app that that seems to work pretty well for some folks.

thanks, I'll check it out.

Agreed.

I used rescuetime, or maybe some competitor, for a few weeks.

I spend 60 hrs in the office, and am far more disciplined than I ever have been before in my life...and it was hard to clock 45 hrs of REAL work.

Depressing.

On the other hand, better to do that AND HAVE DATA than to do it and not know the truth.

Data lets you create a feedback loop and improve.

Is there any data available on the avg no. hrs/week [insert type of user here] puts in?

I've been surprised at some of the readings as well.
