A couple of days ago I was thinking about time that is making changes in our lives..Things in our lives are changing according to the time..looks,behavior,culture,beliefs,life style and much more..So I was thinking about how much more time do i have on this planet..{I know I am not that old to think about this reason but this thought made me think about a lot of unfinished matters and made me do crazy calculations at the middle of the night to find out how much time will I have of my own for rest of the life..
Suppose that I live up to the age of 70 years..Also imagine I will be doing more or less the same job that I am doing now till the age of 60.
My working hours : 10 hours at office+ 1 hour for commuting + 1 hour for getting ready and cooking = 12 hrs
My sleeping hours : 8-9 hours
Misc (cleaning,shopping,watching TV) : 2-3 hours
So by taking the lower limit,on a working day I get 2-3 hours a day of my own..
During weekends,
My working hours : 1 hours for getting ready for going out and 2 hours for cooking = 3 hrs
My sleeping hours : 9-10 hours
Misc (cleaning,shopping,watching TV) : 5-6 hrs with a more importance for cleaning and shopping
So by taking the upper limit,on weekends I get 10(5 hours on saturday and sunday) hours a day of my own..Out of 10 hours 5-6 hours go for my reading and writing..So remaining 4-5 hours..
Conclusion :
Weekdays : 2-3 hours
Weekends : 4 – 5 hours
I have 324120 hours to live till the age of 60.
In a week
I work for ((12+2)*5) + ((3+5)*2) = 86 hours and I get free time for (2*5) + (4*2) = 18 hours
Till the age of 60,I have 324120 hours to live..
Out of this,I work for
86*52 weeks in a year = 4484 hours
4484 * 37 years to live = 165908 hours
My free time in a year = 936 hours
936 * 37 years to live = 34632 hours
That means,if in this way I work till the age of 60,
My working time : 51.18% of my life time
My time for my passion and interests and friends : 10.68 %
And the rest 38.14% of my life time I SLEEP..
In short ,
WE SLEEP MORE THAN WE LIVE..😦
NB : We have only one life,use it INTELLIGENTLY and EFFECTIENTLY.During the dusk of your life,you should never feel that you didn’t live a life for you..I am going to change from today..what about you??? :)Start calculating Guys!!!
Pls point out the %g of ur lifetime spent on blogging!
1%😦😦
You can still do a lot of things in the remaining hour if judiciously utilized.
i think our life style matters a lot
According to the research that I had done few years ago.this was the result.
We spend the following % of our life this way.
Sleep-37.5%,Education-6%,Working for material gains-18%,Eating,drinking etc-4%,
Toilet,bath etc-3%,Travelling-7%,Sickness,etc-1%,Leisure&Social activities-8%,
Armourous Acts-10%,Pleasureable activities-4.5% and for God(Religious Activities)-1%.
I hope it says the same as you do.
This was very detailed..Thank you🙂
Yeah!!this is very close to what most of us do..
