I've been using an app called Infinity on the iPhone to track and optimize my time, and I learned a few things that surprised me. For example:

- I was spending almost 2 hours a day on chit-chat with friends at work. This time is usually counted as work, but it really isn't. So now I stay in the office less, and go out with friends more. Same productivity, more fun.

- I was spending way more time than I thought on email, facebook, and reading news. Now I use a tool called StayFocused to limit my email/facebook time to 1.5 hours a day.

- I spent way too much time on technical support, so I went ahead and hired an intern to handle that.

Overall, I now work less and get more done, which is great.
