I get my news and commentary from blogs, and with GR I don't have to waste my time surfing and getting myself distracted. Also, I combine food and reading. On a weeknight, home alone, there is no point to eat and stare at a wall. Get a good magazine or find some articles online, make your food, and then enjoy it while expanding your mind. Alternatively, I catch up on my Hulu shows while eating. Google Reader. I get my news and commentary from blogs, and with GR I don’t have to waste my time surfing and getting myself distracted.

I miss your company, let's get back to Israel soon, yea? <strong>@jen</strong> If I had a daughter, I would most certainly add "daughter time" as a category! <strong>@Mark</strong> I'm right there with you. I can't tell you how much time I spend on unnecessary sites and blogs and emails and what not. It's a constant struggle between tangential Internet surfing and productivity. Hope D.C. is treating you well! <strong>@ceyla</strong> I hope the 15 minutes I took up was worth it :). You're right - some of us have schedules where the numbers may not generate enough 'free time' in a given day. That's OK. The exercise is about understanding how one can prioritize his or her time by breaking down the day into categories. Concentration, as you mentioned, is definitely the most important part about turning the exercise into a productive result. @Aron Glad you found the post helpful.
