Resource Tracking, Week 5: Monday, February 1-Sunday, February 7

Activity Totals for the Week:

  • Television: 10.83 hours
  • Homework: 0.50 hours
  • Non-work Internet: 6.42 hours
  • Creative Time: 4.83 hours
  • Reading: 4.50 hours
  • Blogging: 1.25 hours

In summary, that’s 10.83 hours on draining activities. (Thank you, Lost and SuperBowl.) I spent an almost equal amount of time, 10.58 hours, on filling activities.  (Thank you new art journals and writer’s group.)  I also spent 6.92 hours on neutral activities, with the majority going to internet usage.

My biggest challenge with tracking my time this week has been my internet usage. I have a feeling that I spent more than 6.42 hours online, but I can’t seem to remember to write it down.

When I actually have to type that I spent at least 6.42 hours online (not including working or blogging), I think that’s a little weird. That’s almost a full night’s sleep, when you think about it. Yet, when I look back to a previous week’s tracking, I’ve spent less time online this week than normal.  Hmmm. I wonder how much of my internet use is purposeful and necessary, as opposed to aimless and time-wasting? I think this is something I’ll have to watch during the coming year.
