Daley Ponderings

Heather asked me to give her the monthly time logs for invoices today, so I took the opportunity to run my brand new script that shows how I've spent my time over the entire year.

I averaged:

13.7 hours a week on directly billable work

7.6 hours a week on maintaining the company, phone systems, servers and any time spent at our rental house

1.1 hours a week on LifeType

8.1 hours a week checking facebook and blogs and also email (lots of which is work related, but I don't differentiate between work and personal email, and I don't get paid for anyway)

I think I've been spending more time on blogs and facebook lately, so I was interested in those numbers specifically - each of those categories come in around an hour and a half per week.

I've had a lot of directly billable work this year, and our income reflects that.  I am not sure if all of that income will continue into next year.  29% of that billable income came from individuals, and another 10% came from companies that had more one-time projects in nature than on-going projects.

I am pretty happy with the "maintenance" number; it shows that I can keep the company going with 13 hours or work a week (counting all email time as "work").  And the directly billable percentage (45%) is great!
