Days Four and Five
Saturday (yesterday) included some time-consuming chores and a night out. Today was better, but on neither day did I keep good track of when I started writing, when I checked e-mail, etc. On weekends, I seem to have this tendency to act as if I have the day off.

On both days, I did track writing hours. Two yesterday. Four and a half today. Most of that time was devoted to developing a story idea.

Hi Bruce,

I've been following along with your writing tracking, and I think what you're doing is a great idea. By blogging about it, you are not only holding yourself accountable, but you are making yourself accountable to others, at least in a limited sense.

If I remember correctly, you use a Palm OS handheld. There are several utilities out there for tracking tasks and analyzing your time, if that would help in your experiment. I use one called SDS Time (SDS Data (http://www.sdsdata.com/)) every day to track how much time I spend in various aspects of my job so I can prepare a bi-weekly report for my boss.

I don't know if that would help you, but I know you are a fan of handhelds (or at least you were the last time I saw you), so I thought I would throw that out there.

Good luck on your writing and teaching projects. I've got your LJ set up as an RSS feed, so I'll be following along as you post.

Thanks, Stace!

I'm not using any kind of PDA these days, just the laptop, occasionally my IBM z50, and 3x5 index cards. I do like using a PDA, but for London, I came with just the basics.
