Answer 2

I've obliterated the 1 hour of cooking and the 1 hour of cleaning. and 4 hours on the couch in exchange for sitting in front of this computer. Yes, I've wasted much of my time, when I should have been doing something else

Answer 3

1. & 4. If you are more than an "hour" from work. You need to
move closer to work. to save time and gas.
2. Eight hours. Five days a week is "normal."
3. Cooking. Since most people are on the "fast track." these
days. Your lucky to have a home cooked meal twice a week.
4. Most people do not clean everyday.
5. Many people do not "require" eight hours sleep a day.
6. Many pople do not sit on the "couch" for four hours. Many
have hobbies or "homework" to do.
So, "recalculate" your formula, and "get a life." <}:-})

Answer 4

Someone once told me that life`s too short for everything you`d like to achieve, so be reasonable. Well, by reading your question, it makes me even more sceptical of that.

The timetable you have given us is far too average for a person. An ambitious person would tend to work more than to sleep.

Well you have a nice list there, but I`m sorry to state again that I`d prefer it to be on an individual-basis rather because everybody is not the same realistically!

Answer 5

Yes and most of us aren't even aware of this fact.Our waking life has two components ie events we can control and events beyond our control.With prioritization , proper sequencing and time management, we can save up to 40-50 percent of our time on the former ,which we can utilized either to enhance our productivity or our leisure activities, including the much needed sleep and social interaction.

Answer 6

4 hours on couch is only thing wasting time need to move more get a hobby work with miniture replicas or collecting cant just stagger and rust

Answer 7

Well, if you consider going to and from work, working, cooking, cleaning and sleeping a waste, then I guess so. Looks to me like we only have 4 hours to actually waste.

Answer 8

Some people don't. I spend:
0 hours getting to work
0 hours working
0 hours cooking
0 hours cleaning
5 hours sleeping
19 hours pwning trolls on Yahoo Answers

Answer 9

its not really wasting their life because those are the necessities to live. and maybe sitting on the couch is their way of relaxing.

Answer 10

dang, that's harsh!

I never thought of it like that---if you put it that way, yes, people waste most of their lives.
That's why people "live" for the weekends, I guess!
