Where Does Your Time Go?

Recently I have been realizing that I am always saying I never have enough time to do things or I can't spend as many hours as I want doing something. This made me think Where does all of my time go? and How much of my time do I waste? 

There are 10,080 Hours in a week and I am going to break it down here to see just how much free time I actually have. 

I work between 25 and 30 hours a week Lets say I max out at 30 

that leaves 8,280 minutes

I sleep for 8 hours a night so now we are down to 4,920 still quite a bit 

I also need to eat and that is about 2 hours a day? probably less any way so 2 hours a day so 4,080 minutes left in my week 

Now my work outs which are a very important part of my week so I work out for about an hour and a half a  day... that still leaves me with 3,450 minutes or 57.5 hours!! 

Which basically leaves 8 hours a day unaccounted for... this is obviously not exact because I do not work on the weekends so those days I have alot more time then the week days still that is a huge amount of free time that I am wasting. 

Generally in that time span I need to 

shower and get ready, study medical terminology, work on my blog, read other blogs, I also will usually swim for a little 

so that accounts for maybe 4 or 5 of those hours... SO WHAT AM I DOING WITH THE REST. 

This truly makes me think I must be spending much more time than necessary on my computer or in front of the TV, time when I could be going for a walk or hike, laying in the sun, playing with the dog, or even doing more studying and preping for school. Now that I have realized how much time of my day is actually being wasted I must begin to work on my time management skills. This doesn't mean that I will be planning out every second of the day or that I wont leave my self some free TV time (my obsession with The Real Housewives is just too strong for that) So this is my new goal and plan to work on getting my time management skills down because I am tired of wasting my hours in front of electronics. 

I'm sorry if this was ranting and involved some math but I have been thinking about this for a couple days and I thought it was pretty important to share because I am sure that I am not the only one who feels that they spend too much time watching TV or on their computers and it is time that we change that and get our butts moving and our time well spent!
