the time card of your day

What is the time card of your day?  
What would it look like if you documented every hour of every day for a week?
 
What would it look like? 
What would it show about who you are? 
I’ve been thinking a little about this. And have even considered making it a homework project for myself. I’m not sure I’m brave enough to share it with the world, but I think just doing it for myself could make a huge difference in how I spend my time.
I don’t know. Just a thought, and one I wanted to share.
Anybody else interested in doing something like this?
What do you think you would learn about yourself?

  1. I think that this might be interesting. I wonder what I would learn about myself. Anything?

  2. Uh yeah, I might not share it with the world either.

    Definitely food for thought!

  3. I agree…I think this would be interesting. Personally, I don’t think I would learn anything different about myself though. Just be able to see exactly how I’m wasting my time….LOL!

  4. That could be an eye opening experience. I would probably find that I stay up way too late just to read blogs :-0

  5. That is a good idea. I think it would show me to stop sitting on the couch and get up and do something.

  6. That sounds like a really good idea… I’d probably be even more disappointed in myself if I did that, though, but it’s worth looking into…

  7. Eek! I’d probably see how big of a slacker I am, and what a whack job of a sleep schedule I keep.

    Thanks for boosting my self esteem, Summer! Quick, tell me I’m pretty or skinny!

  8. I’ve been thinking about this too. Especially the way I spend my weekends. My weekdays are pretty much on a time card anyway, but weekends, I do NOTHING and waste a lot of time. I’d be afraid to see what it really looked like, especially if I did it more than once.

  9. Just found your blog (just getting into the blog thing) and you are hysterical…I love it!! I think it would be interesting (scary?) to do this, but I’ll probably give it a try if you do. 🙂

  10. I don’t think I want to learn any more than I already know about my time, LOL! Actually, I think that is a fascinating idea and perhaps I wouldn’t feel quite as bad about my down time if I realized how little of it I actually DO have!

  11. Not really sure I want to really know this. I know there would be large chunks of blogging, playing with my kid and reading … the rest is either spent eating, thinking about eating, berating myself for eating, cooking, or cleaning the house.

  12. That my life now involves very little sleep in a 24 hour period! This had been the case for almost 4 years. I think if I did this, and showed it to a Doctor, they would be amazed that I’m still alive considering the lack of sleep! 😉 Interesting, Summer!

    P.S. I’m doing a Coach giveaway on my blog!

  13. Aieee… I would learn: hey, I thought I was getting things done. But actually I spend too much time sitting around obsessing about things I can’t control. And then I would be sad :(. Feh.

    But OMG, a Coach giveaway???? When???????

  14. I’ve thought about it. And even though I spend a lot of time with my kids in the same vacinity, I realize that I don’t spend nearly enough time one-on-one and engaged with my children. I also don’t spend enough time on a daily basis doing little pick-me-ups around the house that would avoid big pick-me-ups later. And I definitely waste too much time on the computer!

  15. I’m sure I would see how lazy I’ve become. Hubby does the laundry (he prefers it over dishes and he thinks he HAS to help with the house, who am I to tell him different?) so I do the dishes and the rest whenever. I do a lot of reading now. That’s what my time card would show, a lot of reading and not very much house cleaning. By the way, I love reading your blog. 🙂

  16. Dude..I don’t have time to document my time.

    And if I did I’d have to take notice of how many days I have a glass of wine BEFORE 5 pm. We can’t have that, can we?
