Using Time Wisely
Apparently I'm not the only one addicted to Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal. If I logged how I spend my time, watching television would be high on my list. Yet, I feel I'm working so much I never have enough time to get things done. What would you find if you tracked your own time use?
A new study on time use shows we are working more but we are playing more, too. New government stats show:
-- Employed persons worked 7.6 hours on average on the days that they
worked.
-- On the days that they worked, employed men worked about an hour more
than employed women--8.0 versus 7.1 hours.
-- Self-employed persons were more likely to work on the weekend days than wage and salary workers.
-- On an average day, nearly everyone (96 percent) watched some TV
-- Men average 5.7 hours on leisure activities (like TV watching) and women averaged 4.9 hours.
