Timing

I was reading how long things take and though these are only average times it is still fairly interesting. In the U.S. people spend 1 hour and 40 minutes a month clothes shopping in stores and 1 hour 43 minutes clothes shopping online. (I am going to keep track of the time I spend on clothes shopping because I bet I don't spend that long in a years time,grocery shopping easily takes that much time a month,or more.) How often are workers interrupted? Every 3 minutes and 5 seconds (4.4% of these are self interruptions). Here is one that everyone can relate to,time spent waiting in line. The answers vary from country to country but in the U.S. it is between 2 and 3 years of your life! The average American spends 8 hours a day in front of screens (monitors and television). Children spend more time watching television than the hours they spend in school. On the lighter side the average hug is 3 seconds long. On average a person spends 1 hour a day chewing. When you start breaking down the small everyday things you do it is easy to answer that age old question...Where did the time go?
