How Many Hours Are In Your Day?

How Many Hours Are In Your Day?

By Leo Babauta

This is just a quick note to everyone.

How many hours do you have in your day?

Theoretically(THēəˈredək(ə)lē), there are 24 in mine. Yours might be different.

But I sleep about 6 hours a day. Maybe 2 hours are spent eating. Another 2 hours for grooming(ˈɡro͞omiNG) and driving. Another 3 hours for getting stuff ready for my kids, cooking, cleaning. Another 5 hours doing routine(ro͞oˈtēn) stuff at work and with the blog. Maybe another hour doing errands(ˈerənd), paying bills, going to the grocery(ˈɡrōs(ə)rē) store, or whatever else needs to be done. Another 2 hours doing communication: email, IM, phones, etc.

24 hours – 6 – 2 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 1 -2 = 3 (minus(ˈmīnəs) equal)

3 hours left over for doing stuff I’m passionate(ˈpaSH(ə)nət) about, for pursuing(pərˈso͞o) my dreams, for doing new projects that will change my life, for writing the Great American Novel, for exercise, for spending time with loved ones, for myself.

I’m guessing most of you have about that much time in your day for these kinds of things, give or take an hour or so.

What will you do with your 3 hours?
