Tracking creative time - like when you're dreaming about solutions to problems in your sleep, isn't really necessary in order for the data to be useful. If you could just say, I spent 40% of my time today on project X, that is enough over time to give statistically interesting results.project timesheethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359832330630420385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-82671469023214932712007-10-04T03:40:00.000+02:002007-10-04T03:40:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-91872894793133349832007-10-03T05:32:00.000+02:002007-10-03T05:32:00.000+02:00The downside I see is that the most innovative kno...The downside I see is that the most innovative knowledge work isn't linear or limited to the workday. Many innovations come from tying together disparate information from many subjects to create a new process. The collection of that information may not be attributable to a single goal or even seen as part of the solution. Innovations also come in the dark of night as well as at kid's soccer game more often than in the office. In fact, being focused on the problem consciously tends to prevent the solution whereas, eureka comes on the drive home. I'm not saying that tracking isn't something to try but the very act of consciously tracking your time can interrupt the creative process as that generally involves being out of the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-60373661320442876722007-10-02T23:49:00.000+02:002007-10-02T23:49:00.000+02:00"we increased our revenues by millions and ran off..."we increased our revenues by millions and ran off a competitor with nothing more than excellent time data and an attitude problem."<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing this was crystal clear when you were talking to him, but I'm confused: who had the excellent time data and who had the attitude problem? The way it's written it looks like the competitor had the excellent time data, or else TKG had the excellent time data and ran them off in spite of TKG's attitude problem, or what?Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963866738372943658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-39141191103910951832007-10-02T16:56:00.000+02:002007-10-02T16:56:00.000+02:00OK.
