How are you spending your time?

Question

My Professor gave us some advice the other day.
Did you know give or take a few hours on a general day you use

8 hrs = sleep
8 hrs = work
2 hrs = eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner, eat in or out)
2 hrs = groom
2 hrs = travel
only 2 hrs = you

Therefore, in 75 years you would've used up

25yrs on sleep
25yrs at work
18 yrs w/other essentials and
only 6 1/4 yrs on you.

So it's important to do something you are passionate about when it comes to your work cause then you can steal back 25 years for YOU.

Just a little insight and 2 cents.

Answer 1

It's so different in Europe. That's why I'd love to move back. They always make time for leisure. Coffee time, tea time and social time is a must! It's nice because they make time to smell the flowers.

Answer 2

I never sleep 8 hours.I spend time researching ancestors and just finished a book.Which I hope to have made in color in the near future.I paint, I draw,I read,Love to read.I get to do all these things now because I`m retired.I do still do a gig once in a while with my daughter,we`re in the entertainment business have been for years.I also help my daughter with my grandchildren and do light house work for her.I do all these things at different times and some times more and some times less.Can`t put a time table on it.And with my 2 cents we got 4.

Answer 3

If only I had someone to tell me that years ago before I started into the career I'm in now....

What are you going to school to do to make sure you're following your passion?

Answer 4

Well, as soon as I get my big lottery win I will eliminate the 8 hours of work entirely! :)
