Does anyone have any pointers for staying on task while underemployed?

18. ways to get visibility on accomplishments

I work on lots of different projects and a long time ago I had the same frustration you have. I changed how I worked and while my method doesn't solve the problem 100 per cent, it does let me know where I spend my time.

First, decide what your priorities are.

Next decide how much time you can afford to devote to each particular project.

I work in 30" increments and then move on to another project. That way I get a little progress each day on the priority projects.

I write down what was accomplished at the end of each 30-minute increment.

I'm very much into visibility. With some projects, I photograph the start and the end. When you work by yourself, you're often your only feedback.
