Sophia, could you track time by 15 minute intervals, but simultaneously note interrupting questions per hour, with some vague breakdown of topics if necessary?

So your track might go: 1pm filing, 1:30 working on database. 1-2pm fielded 4 phone calls about accreditation, student directions.

And maybe for answering emails, do a batch once an hour and ignore them in between email-answering time? Unless they are more time sensitive.

That is a good idea. I just can't track my time to the minute! It seems ridiculous.

Also, I am realizing that I have tasks that take less than a minute that I am not necessarily able to group together because a lot of what I do is ask other people to do things for other people and then follow up. So it takes me a minute to do the task "create course shell" because I don't do anything but email IT. And then I have to follow up if there is no response.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you just looking to impress someone? You could just do a running list of tasks, maybe?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think the military wants to keep this assassination story quiet in order to smoke out other groups or individuals in the military. It's been knocked about that a lot of white supremacists and extreme right wingnuts are joining the military to get free military training and to make connections with others of their ilk.

I'll be the investigation is just going to be widespread and alarming.

Oh- no-- we are looking to hire an additional person and my boss wants to look at a) what tasks we want to transfer to the new person and b) how much extra work I am doing to justify the new person and or what work is not getting done due to time constraints.

Jesus, Cash. But it's way too plausible.

Interesting though that the military let this one go to the civilian courts.

Oh, right -- I just mean, if it doesn't HAVE to be in 15-min (or whatever) increments, it could still make the point just to have a long list.

Sophia, I struggle with that too--sometimes I can say I worked only on one thing for an hour, but usually I get interrupted (and ADD) many times. I ear there are some timers you can download to your computer to do it for you some (you still have to click on it but less writing, totals it up etc)
