I self-hosted a time tracker to master my work-from-home schedule, and it did wonders

Like most freelancers and remote workers, I also work from home the majority of the time. There are instances where I head out to a café or a co-working space to work for better productivity. Regardless of where I work from, though, I constantly face issues with accountability. I have a fixed schedule every day, based on which I take up work for multiple clients. A lot of times, though, I end up procrastinating -- leading to delayed timelines. Thankfully, I decided to fix it before it got too late. I employed a bunch of methods, like using a to-do app to make a note of my deliverables, prioritizing my tasks, and, more recently—logging the time I spent working on a certain task.
