So my Media Diary data collection week is over. Over the 7 Days from midnight 9/13 to 11:59pm 9/19 I’ve compiled the following numbers:
media |
hours |
computer | 66.65 |
phone | 9.99 |
books | 5.10 |
pandora | 4.82 |
TV | 3.96 |
hybrid | 2.05 |
planting | 1.24 |
movie | 1.06 |
paper | 0.47 |
youtube | 0.40 |
music | 0.25 |
So it’s not surprising to me that I spent 66.65 hours on the computer. That’s consistent with my weeks lately. (I already track that time work/school independently for my own records). Most of that time is taken up with my four graduate classes. And since I do track that time separately, I’ll bring in my work vs school data in the next post. I’m sort of surprised that I use my phone almost 10 hours a week… it feels like so much less than that. I Find it funny that I read as much as I listen to music on Pandora (though Pandora is almost always during computer time to help motivate me for light tasks). And I’m happy to report that I work with the plants more than I YouTube.Some of these things were simultaneously used, but not “hybrid” use (where I used two things for the same purpose), so some of the hours do overlap. (And I’ll explore that in my next post).
So that’s a snapshot of my past week. No wonder I completely veg on weekends and only work 4-6 hours on those days.
