But, it's only a minute ~ or is it?

My reading in the Idiot's guide to Time Management last night left me with the statistic that by the time you are 48 years old, anything that you've done for 30 minutes a day each day will total to one year of your life. I did some calculating, and if my math is accurate that translates to mean that anything we do for two hours a day accumulates to a little more than one month a year.

If we work 8 hours a day, sleep an average of 6 hours, eat for roughly 1-1/2 hours, then in other words we spend almost 8 months each year just working, sleeping and eating. What we do with the remainder of our year, each year, is up to each of us and the priorities we set for our lives.

How do you use your 4 months a year: do you spend it, waste it, or invest it? As for me, I'm going to readjust how I use my day to reclaim some of that time!
