I've learnt to control that after years of participating in 6WCs. During a 6WC, when I am studying and counting it, I try to really concentrate (eg. no spontaneous clicking on irrelevant weblinks), and when I'm not studying, I just relax and do non-language stuff. If I have random little things I want to do in TL, I write them down and do them together in the next study session. Over time, the contrast between study and non-study time has become more clear-cut, and my study sessions have become much more productive. I therefore don't feel bad for not exploiting downtime or for not using my TL here and there. Kind of like "work hard play hard", I guess.

I have no problem tracking for myself. I know what information I want to know, and I know what should count and how. I only have problem tracking for RD's Study. But after reading your posts, I've been rethinking my concerns. Now I would ask myself, "How would Jeff track this?"
