If you don’t think you have enough time in a day, consider exactly how much time you actually do have, starting with number of hours, minutes, and seconds in a year.
One year equals 365 days. Within each of these days is 24 hours for a total of 8,760 hours per year. Multiplied by 60 minutes per hour, you get 525,600 minutes per year. Breaking it down even further, you’ll get 31,536,000 seconds in a year’s time.
If one month is counted as a period of 30 days, it breaks down to 720 hours, which is 43,200 minutes, or 2,592,000 seconds.
One week equals 7 days, which breaks down to 168 hours, or 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds.
Done day is 24 hours, which is actually just the right number if you work for eight, sleep for eight, and enjoy eight hours. In terms of minutes, one day equals 1,440, and in terms of seconds, that’s 8,640.
If the average person lives to be about 70 years of age, that equals 25,550 days, which breaks down to 1,533,000 hours, or 91,980,000 minutes, or 5,518,800,000 seconds.
An average 9-5 employee works 40 hours, or 2,400 minutes or the equivalent of 144,000 seconds each week. If you’re a part time employee, cut that number in half. However, if you work at home, you need to multiply the first set of numbers by 1.5 or double it.
So, how many seconds, minutes, hours, and days have you spend working each week? Is it a pretty standard number, or does it vary? The simple answer is probably, “Too many.”
Between my assorted jobs, I usually put in anywhere from 2,000 to 3,600 minutes per week, depending on different assignments. No problem. Even during a tough week that leaves me plenty of time to take care of my home, my family, myself, and to squeeze in about 210 minutes of sleep.
