A Pause Log Can Help You Track Your Work Time

The goal is just to be aware of where this time goes, so you can ask what is working and what is 't. For a few work days, any time you stop working, jot down the time then record the time when you start working again. Notice whether your five minute break to check your personal email or social media actually ends up being a 20 minute break,. If your chats with your work best friend average 15 minutes per conversation, that's great, but maybe you could coordinate eating your lunches together for some extended catch up time.
