I’m going to start timing myself on certain tasks. Like for example downloading photos from my camera to my computer. It may seem a simple task but for me this is arduous and boring and I am always distracted by looking up things on the net or checking my emails. I think its great that I always answer emails within 12 hours but I get so frustrated with how unconscious about time I actually am. I can achieve so much more each day if only I was more efficient in how I did things.

I have done up a basic time sheet table and I’m going to start writing down how long it takes to do certain tasks. Then I can see how efficient I am at certain things during the day, during the night, if closing internet explorer makes a difference to how quickly I do something, if closing my email and focusing on only one task at a time makes me more efficient. I have things on my ‘To do’ list that have been there for over 12 months now. That is sad. It needs to get done and crossed off that list!!

If you want to download my timesheet to do your own little experiments here it is.
