How can you spend time wisely?
We all wonder where the hours go. There’s a good reason for that — we’re absolutely terrible at remembering how we really spend our time.
Via What the Most Successful People Do at Work: A Short Guide to Making Over Your Career:
Hunting through data from the American Time Use Survey, conducted annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other time diary projects, I came to the inescapable conclusion that how we think we spend our time has little to do with reality. We wildly overestimate time devoted to housework. We underestimate time devoted to sleep. We write whole treatises glorifying a golden age that never was; American women, for instance, spend more time with their children now than their grandmothers did in the 1950s and 60s.
Nowhere is this truer than with work. Are you a workaholic spending 75+ hours at work a week? Then you’re probably off by as much as 25 hours.
