If someone were to look at my life, here’s what they’d see me spend my time on in the average week:

  • 56 hours sleeping
  • 30-35 hours a week in the office
  • 10-15 hours listening to podcasts/audiobooks
  • 7-10 hours surfing the internet/social networking sites
  • 7-10 hours of prayer/bible
  • 6-10 hours with friends.
  • 5-10 hours non-office related work
  • 5-8 hours watching TV/Movies
  • 7-12 hours eating
  • 4-8 hours exercizing
  • 5 hours reading
  • 3-5 hours networking relationships
  • 3-5 hours with my small group
  • 2-5 hours writing
  • 2-4 hours reading blogs
I can’t say I’m happy with the results of this little exercise. Where is your treasure?
