Shortly after I posted the first analysis of my time, I realized that my hours per day calculation were kind of off, since I was counting 7 day weeks, and I basically never work on Sundays.  As I am redoing the calculations, I see that I must have been doing something strange to try get the days to line up correctly - ie. I restart the worklog in the middle of a day usually, and so I must have tried to move some hours to the previous month, rather than reporting the same day twice, but as far as I can tell, I can't do arithmetic correctly.  So, here are the revised numbers: 

November: 7.6 hours/day
December: 6.6 hours/day
January: 6.6 hours/day
February: 6.9 hours/day

And for the breakdown of the February numbers,

Non-Lime Daley Computer time:

  • Blogs: 3.1%
  • Facebook: 0.5%
  • Checking email/miscellaneous: 27.8%
  • Real estate searching: 9.3%
Lime Daley computer and phone time:
  • Coding for LifeType, bug reports, forum help: 4.7%
  • Lime Daley maintenance, improvements, sales: 14.4%
  • Clients who pay me by the hour: 37.0%
  • Emails/Requests from web hosting clients (support included in hosting cost): 3.1%

My analysis for this month says that I am spending too much time on email, so I think I will work on that for next month, I wonder how much I can change it just by thinking about it a little bit.
