Just to recap, the format is...
Task; Planned: x minutes, Took: y minutes; Forecast:...; Actual:...;
I also include a self assessment at the end of the day that simply states "How'd I do?"
Keeping these activity logs is helping me see that my forecasts are usually incorrect, and kind of extreme. After tomorrow I should have 9 solid work days of records. I was reviewing the 8 that I have today which is somewhat uncomfortable for me. Reviewing these entries drives home how prevalent my forecasts of conflict and lost free time really are. However, I also see that these forecasts are more often wrong than correct. I'm trying to figure out how I will use the group after tomorrow. I'm thinking of looking for common themes, grouping them, and then attacking each group. I can also really dig and see if I can find the core belief that drives each group. I'm still working on this. At a minimum, I can tune some of my entries in Mood Sentry to better address a specific group.
