Internet Optimization Techniques

Probably the most important problem for every successful freelancer is the optimization of working time . If you wondered how much of the total time you work and how much you pretend to work, then this post is for you.

Optimization methods

There are a huge number of services and opportunities for time management and to be honest - this is not the most important issue that needs to be addressed, because periodically it turns out that writing down your plans on a daily planner or organizer takes much more time than the implementation of this task.

What is the main thing?

The main thing, I believe, is the usual analysis of what we do on the most ordinary day. With full statistics and complete analysis, it will be easy to understand effectively whether you are working or not.

Analysis software

Before being engaged in the distribution of time use between projects, you need to go down to the bottom - understand what time to spend on the computer.


One of the assistants in this case for me was the program True Time Tracker . The program is fairly simple, but effective, works seamlessly, but it provides enough data for a full analysis.

With detailed settings - you can keep a complete account of the waste of time for each of the projects, and in general.

Here is an example of a report - indicating the time that was spent on individual programs for the week. As you can see most of the time in the seo-optimizer is spent on the browser.


Another report is visited sites on which time is spent (working draft is smeared)

It is useful to have information on which sites information is being spent on a particular day.

You can also see how much time the computer was working on, and how much it was idle.


It is also possible to view data for a specific day on the applications used.


There is an opportunity to collect data on the activity of using time per week.

Total

Thanks to such a simple program you can get a clear picture of working time at the computer.

After analyzing the report, you can draw conclusions what you should not do, which sites to block in the firewall and which programs to remove (by the way, this program can be useful for department managers.

Another tool with more complete statistics

The second free tool is ManicTime . This program gives more detailed information on the consumption of time and allows the grouping of certain sites and programs.

With proper grouping at the exit, we will have a clear understanding of what time is spent on. The program has a nice appearance and allows you to make almost any cuts on the use of working

General thoughts

Almost no one can cope with the desire to sit on that site, watch this blog and so on, although we all understand that this is a useless matter and will not bring us material and spiritual good (exceptions of course are thematic blogs for the information you need).

In our office, I made a decision on the router to block the contact and youtube and labor productivity has increased markedly. Just a constant analysis of working time through the above programs allows you to see how loaded my schedule and how much I pretend that I work.
