Do the Math:

Just did the math:

November: 721 hours
Sleep: 240 hours
------
Leaving: 481 hours

So:

November: 481 hours
Eating/Hygiene: 45 hours
------
Leaving: 436 hours

So:

November: 436 hours
Work/School: 160 hours
------
Leaving: 276 hours

So:

November: 276 hours
Life: 36 hours
------
Leaving: 240 hours

So:

November: 240 hours

What are you going to do with those 240 hours? That's 8 hours* a day. You can use those to figure out how he met his mother, to play on the computer, obsess over your glitch, or farmville.

Or:

You could write a novel.

I choose plan B. How about you?

*On average. Again, it's different for everyone, but still it's jarring just how much time we really DO have when you break it down.

I did an average of a 40 hour work week for 4 weeks. So there might be some approximations that aren't perfect, but still 278 words per hour! You can do this thing! I don't even know how many words this has, but I'm sure it's closer to 50 and I'm not even spending a minute on it :D You'll get 'er done! Actually 64! Whoo! (Now 67)
