The month in one line
You logged 118 h across 14 active projects — but only 67 h landed on the two projects that shipped. Roughly 34 h (29%) was distraction, inbox, or low-yield context switch.
Where the time went
| Project / theme | Time |
|---|---|
| Product analytics site | 38 h |
| Agent / MCP tooling | 29 h |
| Context-switch tax (12 side projects) | 22 h |
| Slack / email / browser noise | 12 h |
| Meetings with little follow-through | 17 h |
Shape: deep work exists — it just keeps getting interrupted. Top two lanes are healthy; the long tail is where the month leaked.
What actually shipped
- Trade log feature production-ready; end-to-end tests green
- Local analytics dashboard: multi-season history, standings, champions
- Parlor app scaffolded and playtested end-to-end
- Homelab energy plan drafted with local LLM stack priorities
Meetings that mattered
- Open models workshop — practical inference notes that unblocked the local stack
- Applied AI sessions — spec-driven development + agent memory themes
- Everything else (~14 h) — attended, few actions logged afterward
Patterns & risks
- 29% distraction load — Slack, inbox thrash, and single-minute app hops that never became shipped work
- 12 side projects in one month — average ~1.8 h each; none closed a loop; they taxed the two real priorities
- Densest days still fragmented: peak day 9.4 h tracked with 11 project switches
- Mid-month audit bugs still open while new scaffolds kept starting
Wins worth keeping
- When protected, focus blocks closed real product loops (tests + deploys)
- Agent/MCP tooling hours compound — they made the rest of the month faster
- Two workshops produced concrete notes that showed up in later activities
Next 30 days (suggested)
- Cap concurrent projects at 3 — park the long tail before it eats another 20+ h
- Protect two deep-work blocks daily; batch Slack/inbox outside those windows
- Finish open audit bugs on analytics before starting any new scaffold
