Are You Creating A Balance?
DailyPlanIt has put together a few interesting links to articles trying to answer this question. Where is your time going and is it balanced the way you want?
This chart, which comes from the American Time Use Survey 2006 by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows where time is going for many Americans. Is this something like your day? What would you like to change?
I think there are a lot of systems, such as GTD, around that are attempting to create a balance of what is important in your life. What’s working for you? Do you have enough time for the things you love?
An important part of your week, I think, should be reflecting on what you achieved. What do you want to do more of and what can you decrease your time in? Are you reaching your goals?

Only 1.1 hours per day eating? This survey seems a little off… Don’t most people get an hour lunch break at work? I can’t see people splitting breakfast and dinner over 6 minutes (.1 hour = 6 mins).

My way to work is 45 minutes - two times a day. If I put this to “Other” there remains only 1 hour for the real “Other” things. Traveling times in general don’t seem to be considered here.
Maybe because in USA it’s not far to go from here to there - only a “couple of hours” ;-)
