How was your day?
There are a few metrics I can use to determine how well my day is going.
The first is how many IM conversation windows I end up with at the end of the day. Today I’m at 6, which is pretty high.
Another is at what point I’ve finished the bugs which I was supposed to have finished yesterday and can start working on today’s bugs. By this measure, 5 p.m. is pretty awful, especially since we consider a working day to have eight hours in it.
This leads into the last one: what time I get home in the evening.
