As promised, I did a time audit for two weeks. I recorded my activities in 30-minute increments. The results are…mixed. I am happy to say that I spend a good amount of time keeping the finances and household in order, and on spiritual activities, but I have to admit that I spend a lot of time watching TV.
Here are some other things I discovered from doing this audit:
- I can be obsessive. Funny thing: when I admitted it out loud, my husband said: “Ya think?” Hmm….
- I need to include more exercise in my routine. Now my husband and I try to play ping pong every day when he comes home from work.
I’ve concluded that it’s not so much about how much you get done in a day, but whether what you accomplished was the most important.
For me, a clean sink is important.
Oh I love this idea! I’m going to start this Sunday and do a full week! It’s always hectic so I would be curious to see how it holds up on a weekly basis.
Let us know what your results are.
