> Track your time, say in 10-15 minute blocks
I've read this advice a lot, but quite frankly I don't believe it. 10-15 minutes block is too short, and it would probably take too much in terms of overhead (at least at the beginning).
Plus, it's known that 10-15 minutes is what it takes for the average person to "get in the zone" as in "focusing on something".
If we're talking pomodoros (25 minutes) that could work. I used to try 45-minutes pomodoros, but always stopped at around 30-35 minutes (focus lost, got tired/distracted, took a break).
