A week ago, I had a discussion with one of my friends about time. It is something that is taken lightly every single day. As people living in America and around the globe, we have wasted more time then we actually even know. Considering time is the only thing that can be share, given, and cherished all at the same time. It should be something that is held near and dear to us all. With all that being said I decided to do some research on the subject; Where is our time spent?? Where does it Go? Especially on Weekdays?
According the US reports that include company tax returns, TV ratings, and census data, I have created some Visual Graphs to explain where our time goes. Most of all the time is spent sleeping and to me that is a waste of time itself. I have always believed that I will rest when I die. To be exact 9.2 hours of our day is accounted to personal care which includes sleeping. If you need some motivation on what to do with your spare time instead of sleep go HERE , they will teach how to cut down you sleep by one hour and accomplish some goals at the same time. The next chunk of nothingness that takes up our time is working for the man!! Up to 6 hours a day is spent working for someone else doing what you don’t want to do anyway. I am not saying quit your job, because you might like your job. This part of blog is just “For your Information”, use it at your own will.
Lastly, most people spend on average about 4 hours watching TV or surfing the web. I cant complain about the Internet, because it is what makes me a lot of my money today, but TV is over rated. Especially when you can spread the time around to Caring for others, or even educating yourself. Don’t get anything mistaken in this post about “your” time, and please remember that this is just WEEKDAY numbers. I am pretty sure lots of people spend a lot of time on the weekends doing more things that may be constructive, but remember its only 2 day of the week. Just take some TIME and THINK “WHAT AM I DOING??” As always Enjoy.
