My primary uses of time would fall under the category of sleep. It is quite ironic that this is the activity that I do the most; when in reality I feel like I sleep the least. Making this excel spreadsheet really put everything that I do in a typical week into retrospective. What did not come as a surprise to me is what I spend most of my money on.

I have chosen to do the stop distractions challenge. The stop distractions challenge I chose, because I feel I need to improve on my time management and cut back some of my time zappers. My distractions are T.V, Cell phone use is a huge time zapper and web surfing are my three major distractions.
