I wanted to do some better analysis of where my time was spent. I came up with screenshots and movies. I have a friend that did window handles and Google Charts.

I will check out these tools, hopefully transparency on my time-utilization will shame me into being more productive. Mike p.s. Stay away from Scrabulous! Nathan,

I get started on a few sites, and all of a sudden a few hours have passed. I don't know where all the time goes. It's my second day implementing my plan and I'm already feeling more productive. It's my "12-1 lunch break" now. @Beth: Seriously. I get started on a few sites, and all of a sudden a few hours have passed. I don’t know where all the time goes.

Surfing is a big, big time waster for me. Once I get going I just can't seem to stop, and it's really keeping me from doing things I care a lot about. I'll be following along and hope this will motivate me to get my constant browsing under control as well. Great tips on the plugins - I will definitely check them out.
