Here is what I am learning. This is a good method for tracking one's activities. I can see that I am not lazy. Note that I do not need to put down how much time I spend on something. All these people are running around talking about how many hours they work, but isn't the important thing how much you get done? Something that takes less than a minute, like making a phone call, can be significant, in that NOT doing it could have bad consequences.
I am modifying my record by noting whether I made good or bad progress. Making not much progress on a long-term project, like what happened to me yesterday, is not even a bad thing. It is just part of the normal ebb and flow of life. In fact, I would argue that it is good to have bad days. It is just a sign that you need to slow down for just a short period of time so you can attack things more freshly.
