Do You Really Have 24Hours A Day

It is quite surprising when you sit and think about where all the time in one day twenty four hours goes. Twenty four hours is really a lot of time. But on most days it scarcely seems enough. But this is because of certain misconceptions about time. Here, I am sharing some points which will help a person to get a realistic view about how much time does really have in a day.

We do not really get twenty four hours in a day. Maybe it's because we always talk about the twenty fours in a day, we get the feeling that we really do have twenty four hours to finish our daily business and the fact is that we do not. Assuming that you hit the sack at least by twelve in the night and taking for granted the the fact that you need at least seven hours of sleep. If fix your waking time at seven in the morning.

That means that you have already lost seven hours, which we can deduct from twenty four, giving us only seventeen waking hours. Waking hours does not mean the hours you take to wakeup but the hours that you awake. So, we have only seventeen hours in a day. Now if you think that all those seventeen hours can be used for productive work then you are wrong.

The seventeen waking hours cannot be used completely for productive work. There are many things that a human being should do in order to continue to live like a human being and some of these things do take up a lots of time.

Let says, taking shower at least once in a day and the time I think we can put down for that is 15 minutes. Then, get ready and tidying ourselves in front of a mirror, we take it as 15 minutes. Maybe for some people will come up to half an hour but I think fifteen minutes is good enough.

We need to eat to live, normally a person needs three meals a day. So that makes it 1 hours for food. I would like to put down 2 hours as the time for relaxing, watching, surfing or reading and this includes the time that you get to yourself for prayer or meditation or just to stare out of your window or perhaps the few extra minutes spend in your bed after waking up, waiting for the last traces of sleep to go away.

Oh yes, we are all very cultured people who have the best of manners and upbringing. We dress ourselves properly and conduct ourselves with the utmost poise. But there are several times in a day when we have to go back nature and summing up all those things we do in the bath room. We also certainly cannot get along with our business of life without chatting a few minutes every now and then with our friends and family too. Sometimes, we have to go places from a destination to another destination. So, at here i would like to deduct another 2 hours from waking time.

Well, now how many hours we still left? We started off with 17 hours of waking time and we proceed to add up all the time we accounted for in the above mentioned. Let us see how much time we have left for productive work provided we still want to exist as human beings.
five hours and thirty minutes. That is 5 hours and 30 minutes. I put it down in both numerals and words so that can get a real taste of the figure.

Now if we proceed to subtract this figure from our 17 hours of waking time, what do we get? We are left with just eleven hours thirty minutes. In figures that is 11 hours 30 minutes.

That is all that we get and that is a fact. So from now on don't we think that it would be more realistic to say that we have just eleven hour and thirty minutes to accomplish a day's work and not twenty four hours. For if we continue to believe that we have twenty four hours, then we are in effect deceiving ourselves and there are certain things called time waster which have to look out for and that is what we going to deal with for our time.
