What do you do with your time?

I might feel like I’m busy.  But the truth is, I don’t actually know.  When other people tell me all the things they do with their I wonder how I can possibly feel busy in comparison?!?

But I can be fairly certain that different people have different tolerances.  And I can be fairly certain that different people have different levels of production in those 5 minutes between brushing your teeth and heading out the door for the day or in the half an hour right when you get home.  And many, if not all, people do little things that really add up, but nobody really ever notices or recognizes.

Here’s what I know: There are 168 hours in each week for every person.  What do you do with yours?

Work: 12

Class: 9

Training: ~12

Sleep: ~60

Commuting: ~2.5

Small group studies: 3.5

Eating: ~7 (~20 minutes/meal x 3 meals/day +/- snacks, etc.)

TV: 3 (Criminal Minds, Friday Night Lights, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother)

That’s the time I can account for without reaching too far…

What does that leave me with?

59 hours/week unaccounted for.

Obviously, I didn’t account for homework, coaching work, getting dressed, etc.  Those things are really hard to measure.

But let’s make a rough guess:

Homework: ~7

Coaching: ~7

Getting dressed, showering, grooming, etc.: ~5

I feel like I’m guessing high on those numbers… but that still leaves me with 40 hours unaccounted for every week?!?!?  Uh oh…

So what do you do with your time?
