A day in my life…part two…

February 24, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Well, obviously I didn’t update yesterday as I had planned. I kept track of what I was doing up until about 3:15 and then it all became a blur of household tasks, phone calls, and various interruptions. In other words, a totally normal day. Here’s what I did manage to record:

8:30 Tea With Dee blog (post, update book and dinner plans)
8:40 dress, moisturize face, hair in ponytail, take down laundry, reboot laundry, make breakfast, feed cats
9:00 back upstairs to eat and read more email,
9:50 let out chickens, refill pets’ water, reboot laundry
10:15 30 min. on treadmill while reading “The New Frugality” by Chris Farrell
10:50 read a few emails, set timer for 15 minutes to read blogs
11:20 dusted, prepared and ate lunch while reading Flylady book, talked to mom on phone, rebooted laundry
12:20 email, Facebook
1:30 nap
2:15 computer

2:45 shower, dress, makeup, hair
3:15 and onward: finished laundry, folded and put away, vacuumed main areas of downstairs, tidied up whole house, prepared and ate dinner, talked to a friend on the phone for over an hour, chatted with David when he returned from his trip, watched some of the Olympics, more computer time, read Bible and “The Friendly Persuasion”.

I knew this already but I really do spend a lot of time on the computer. Between three blogs of my own, another I post for occasionally, Facebook, reading blogs, reading and moderating a yahoo group, and assorted other things, I am online a lot. A LOT. As long as I keep up with other aspects of my life, I am okay with this. I mean, I very rarely watch television. And much of the time spent online involves reading about various things of interest to me (news, politics, environmentalism, cooking, etc.). Yes, I’m probably trying to justify my obsession. 😉

So, how do you spend your day? Have ever tried to spend a day writing it all down?

    Deanna – your day is scarily similar to mine, including feeding the cat, letting out the chickens, and taking a nap.;)

    I first wrote down what I did each day as a young mother because I would wonder where all my time went. Now I occasionally keep tabs on my time just to discover the time-wasters.

    I've been thinking about my use of time lately. Stay tuned next week for some of my thoughts on the issue. 😉
