I too charge on a project basis, but price based on previous experience with how long things take. I would'nt know that unless i tracked my total time with Toggle (https://www.toggl.com)
But recently the most valuable tool i use is Rescue Time, It tells me how long im spending on tasks / on websites, on the phone, in meetings etc etc, Automatically and catagorises them in order of productivity, then gives you a score out of 100. I aim for 80 and set a couple of targets for the day, like skype/phone/emails less than a hour a day. Link: https://www.rescuetime.com/ref/656852
