Tracked my hours for two weeks. Kind of wish I hadn't :(

Did a little experiment — logged everything I did for two weeks, not just billable work.

Turns out roughly a third of my day was going to stuff no client will ever pay for. Intake calls, scheduling ping-pong, chasing signatures, sorting emails.

The worst part? It got worse as I took on more cases. I genuinely thought working harder was the answer.

Curious if anyone else has done this or if I'm just bad at this. :(
