Well, for starters, I'm not seeing a whole lot of this:
Over the last two weeks I have tracked my activities, 168 hours a week, for two weeks. I've tracked it on a one-page spreadsheet. Here are some things I've observed:
- Church/Work activities average just over 40 hours per week. That feels about right.
- Sleep averaged about 7 and 1/2 hours per night, but that's not entirely accurate, for some of that time is spent reading, listening to a crying baby, or helping Nancy deal with the Raccoon attacking her chickens in the backyard.
- Other than a little bit of soccer with my boys, exercise isn't happening. Not good.
- David's baseball games take up a lot of time! 10 and 1/2 hours in one week. (Of course, it was the last week of the season, and they were cramming in a lot of make-up games.)
- I am not spending enough time practicing the guitar. An hour or two per week. Not good enough.
- Selling on ebay takes between 5 and 10 hours between listing, packing and shipping. Almost could consider that like a part-time job.
- Time at home is hard to track because so much of it is devoted to childcare, clean-up, folding laundry, giving baths, and all of those kinds of chores. A lot of time goes to that sort of stuff.
- One incredible "time bonus" for me is that I spend almost no time commuting to and from work. That's not the case for most people. (Don't be jealous.)
Well, now I must sort through all this and strategize ways to maximize my time.
And most importantly, figure out how to get more Flyers games into my schedule.
