Paring down the day into simplicity

The day has 24 hours, 8 for sleep, 8 for work, 3 for eating, which leaves about 5 free hours (some use these hours to commute so subtract those hours too.) These few hours we have are a precious commodity. Imagine taking one of these hours each day to just be… to check in. One hour in every 24 to be you.

Apportioning the hours of the day...

Good reminder on these. My personal preference is to divide the day thus:

8 hours for sleep (lately not fulfilling this much – 7 on a good day)

4 hours for work

4 hours for commute time (but, since I’m taking the bus, these are “free” hours – reading, meditating, being).

2 hours for meals (which, on most days, are shared with 43Things entries, and other items)

1 hour for formal meditation (hopefully; divided into two half-hours)

5 “Free” hours left over, as in your model, that are then filled with working on non-income producing interests, such as loving my beloved, creativity, contact with friends, fiddling with the computer, and just plain wasting time. :-)

Looking to expand 5 hours into 16...

Enjoy your time doing that for now too. :-)
