一天内应该给自己留多少时间?
现代的人生活越来越忙碌，却疏忽了生命中一个重要的课题：你、如何与自己相处？当我们静下心来细细回想，可能会发现每天留给自己的时间少之又少。更可悲的是，我们还常常浪费掉这宝贵的一丁点时间。
本文没有结论，只是对我们提出了问题。你的一天有多少属于自己的时间？你又是如何安排它们的呢？
How Many Hours Are In Your Day?
你一天为自己留多少时间？
This isn't a feature article but just a quick note to everyone。 这并不是一篇专业论文，这只是对大家的一个小提醒。
How many hours do you have in your day?
你的一天有多少时间呢？
Theoretically, there are 24 in mine. Yours might be different。 从理论上讲，有24个小时。当然你也有可能不同(比如，如果你是火星人的话……)。
But I sleep about 6 hours a day. Maybe 2 hours are spent eating. Another 2 hours for grooming and driving. Another 3 hours for getting stuff ready for my kids, cooking, cleaning. Another 5 hours doing routine stuff at work and with the blog. Maybe another hour doing errands, paying bills, going to the grocery store, or whatever else needs to be done. Another 2 hours doing communication: email, IM, phones, etc。
我一天睡差不多6个钟头。也许花两小时吃饭。另外两小时打扮和开车。再另外三小时的时间用来照顾我的小孩、煮饭、打扫。花5个小时做常规的工作上的事情，写写博客。或许还有一个小时时间用来帮人跑跑腿、付账单、去杂货店、或者其他一些杂事儿。最后还有两小时用来交流：写email ，网上聊天、煲电话粥等等。
24 hours - 6 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 1 -2 = 3
所以：24小时- 6 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 1 -2 = 3
3 hours left over for doing stuff I'm passionate about, for pursuing my dreams, for doing new projects that will change my life, for writing
the Great American Novel, for exercise, for spending time with loved ones, for myself。
剩下三个钟头来做我真正喜欢的事，来追求我的梦想，来做一些可能会改变我生命的新项目、来写一本伟大的美国小说、来锻炼身体、来和爱的人呆在一起、来和我自己相处。
I'm guessing most of you have about that much time in your day for these kinds of things, give or take an hour or so。
我猜你们当中大多数一天所剩的时间也和我差不多，顶多一两个钟头的出入吧。
What will you do with your 3 hours?
那，你会用这三个小时干嘛呢？
