For those people with no & low discipline, using RescueTime will be an important first step to getting more done in 2012. If you are an "information hoarder" who needs an intervention, this software will open your eyes but won't be the cure.
Surely there is a simple solution without the software. You could simply write in your calendar in advance where and when you want to spend your time and then stick to the calendar. Even when you are able to evaluate where the time is lost, it does not replace the calendar.

- Phone calls
- Personal visits
- Chit chats
- Road time
- Planning activities
- Delivery of product or services
- Meetings
