But remember that the point is to find the things you do ALL THE TIME. You probably don't dial the phone often in one day, so that wouldn't have been on your list.
About six years ago I was on the phone all day, and yes that was a real problem. In the end it was much more efficient to get a device that dialed a number that was selected on the screen.
So when you consider that the point of the exercise is to identify those things about you and your particular workflow, it makes more sense.
Finally, you can probably appreciate that the "write EVERYthing down" is clearly not something you should do all the time, but rather an interesting mechanism to make you THINK about what you're doing.
That is, get you thinking meta rather than just working heads-down. That is the true lesson.
