No wonder I'm losing my mind. Monday, the longest consecutive period of time I worked on a task all day (despite working for over 12 hours total) was only 3 hours and 15 minutes. More frequently, I would work for 15 minutes (as little as 10 in some cases) and then get pulled from the half-finished task to another, and so on. Each time a task was completed, I would revert to one of the earlier tasks, but again, would usually be cut off. So my day becomes staccato. I switched tasks 17 times that day, and worked on 7 different billing codes (ranging from administrative work to code and/or debugging for three different sites plus the baseline, to estimation work for sales)....
Tuesday was more of the same, only a little worse. Longest consecutive stretch Tuesday in the office: well, there were two periods (one for testing/doc/updates for a client site, one for a customization for a different site) of one hour each. (Again, during office hours - I got in a solid 1:20 at home before I gave up for a while.) 23 task changes. 8 different billing-codes. Only ten hours.
Yesterday was comparatively peaceful, really. A mere 5 task changes, and an uninterrupted block of almost 5 hours working one task, in the office, in the afternoon. Maybe that's why I was so much more effective on the work I did last night, despite being a bit tired - because my day wasn't so bloody staccato!
Wish me luck with the rest of the week. So far today has been flittery, but more like yesterday than Monday/Tuesday.
