Are there any periods that I could use more
productively?

There are 7 scales against which we can measure ourselves as
time managers at work. They are:
1. Control: is control of your time with you or others?
2. Pace: is your pace of work even or erratic?
3. Direction: do you have short-term or long-term objectives?
4. Variety: is there a little or a lot of variety in your work?
5. Ownership: do you own what you do or do others?
6. Volume: does the amount of work you do result in overloads
or underloads?
7. Balance: is there an equal or unequal balance in the different
tasks you do?
