The biggest thing I learned when analyzing my time, which I wish I had recognized earlier, was that I can have two types of productive days:
I can have days where I do a million small things and hop quickly from task to task.
Or, I can have days where I work on big issues and should not be interrupted by small issues.
But, if I think I'm going to have a day where I work on a big thing and it turns out I get interrupted by a million little things, I end up doing nothing well and end up very unproductive.
