Ever tracked your actual work hours and realized you barely build anything?

Logged my work time for a few months and the stats were pretty embarrassing. Turns out "doing research" and doom scrolling tech news was taking up almost a fifth of my day while actual user calls were under 10%.

I always felt busy but looking at the spreadsheet proved I was just wasting hours on passive stuff.

For anyone who tried tracking their time like this did seeing the raw numbers actually fix your habit or did you slide right back?
