I'd like to know, does anyone actually do all these "productivity" methods? I've never known anyone who tries all the things you read on blogs and sticks with it for very long.
I have a friend or two who do fairly significant amounts of tracking and auditing. I think the key fact is that they are doing that about their work time, not their play time. It's especially important if you're not working from an office and have a dangerous amount of flexibility.
