My takeaways:
1. If your goal is to try and make money, being focused on one idea at a time is probably better than deep diving in to several narrow niches.
2. I shouldn't be discouraged by not (yet) generating income myself. Despite lots of stories of success and people telling you otherwise, it's a hard thing to do, especially if you work a full time job.
3. I'm really glad I don't bother with the effort of micro tracking my time like this. On the surface it seems appealing but after reading this it seems like it takes a lot of effort, and doesn't provide much value.

If things are working out the way you want them to then tracking your time won't help but if you're trying to find more time then having that information can help a lot instead of randomly deciding you're going to cut out more time playing games.
