As I said before I have started to log my hours. The main reason for this is because I feel like I’m not getting enough work done. So what better way to see if I’m actually doing work than to log my hours. So over the past week I setup an excel sheet to log my hours (If anyone has a better method please let me know, excel is a pain!). Now this is over a 7 day period not the normal 5 day work week most of you are used to. Here is a day to day breakdown of the hours I worked.

Monday: 2 hours
Tuesday: 4 hours 15 minutes
Wednesday: 2 hours 28 minutes
Thursday: 4 hours
Friday: 4 hours
Saturday: 0 hours
Sunday: 4 hours

Total Worked: 20 hours 43 minutes

After seeing how much I worked in a 7 day work week I was very disappointed in myself. When I had a real job I worked anywhere from 30-50 hours in a 5 day work week!

Reasons For Not Working as Much
Well the main reason for not working as much is that I haven’t had a lot of motivation. That has a lot to do getting enough sleep and keeping a good schedule. I recently made a post about how being healthy helps you be productive and it really does. When you don’t get enough sleep or are not eating right it can really hurt your performance. Also I am very lazy, something I have been trying to remedy. All my life I’ve for the most part done what I need to get by, not try to do more.

Goals For This Week
This week my goal is at least 25 hours, but I do hope to do more, I just don’t want to set the goal to high and then be disappointed in myself. I have been doing a lot of right things already this week. I have been on a great schedule, eating 3 meals a day, and I’m motivated. Hopefully this week will be a good one, it already started off good with the front page Digg!
