Time Management

Last week, I tried to record the amount of time I spent in 12 different categories, which I figured would come fairly close to occupying all of my time. Here are the percentiles (Out of 144 hours -- 24 x 6)

Sleep: 35.0% -- Avg. 8 hours, 24 minutes, 10 seconds per night.

In Class: 16.1% -- Avg. 3 hours, 52 minutes, 30 seconds per day.

Study: 13.6% -- Avg. 3 hours, 16 minutes, 20 seconds per day.

Exercise: 6.9% -- Avg. 1 hour, 38 minutes, 40 seconds per day.

Biology TA: 5.0% -- Avg. 1 hour, 12 minutes, 30 seconds per day.

Eating: 3.3% -- Avg. 15 minutes, 40 seconds per meal (assume 3 meals per day).

Devotions: 1.9% -- Avg. 27 minutes, 20 seconds per day.

Cello Practice 1.9% -- Avg. 27 minutes, 30 seconds per day.

Odd Jobs (Cleaning, Organizing, Buying Groceries): 1.1% -- Avg. 15 minutes, 40 seconds per day.

UKCAT prep: 1.0% -- Avg. 14 minutes, 10 seconds per day

Internet: 0.8% -- Avg. 11 minutes, 20 seconds per day.

Gardening: 0.7% -- Avg. 10 minutes per day.

Pretty thorough, huh?

Guess Again: The difference between 144 hrs (total time in 6 days) and my "accounted for" time (125 hrs, 43 min) was 18 hrs and 17 min.

That is 18 hours and 17 minutes in my week that I cannot account for! That averages to 3 hours, 2 minutes, and 50 seconds that I cannot account for in every 24 hours.
