“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

(Albert Einstein)

A few months ago I installed this Firefox addon called “MeeTimer”. It logs how much time you spend on which websites and is trying to help you to stop procrastinating. Most of the time I forget about it, though, and I just remembered that it was still running. So I decided to face the truth.

1. Bombay clocks, 2. Digital Clock, 3. Sanduhr

I spend a daily average of 2h 35m surfing the internet. To be fair, everyone needs the internet nowadays, I use it to read the news, watch stuff, look things up, study, work, communicate… and it’s just a daily average anyway.

5m of that are spent on searching on Google, I’m online on this site for 21m and on TheHeadhoops for 11m which is alright considering I write all blog posts online in my browser. Moreover I spend 24m on Twitter, 14m on MySpace, 19m on Facebook, 9m on Livejournal, 6m on Last.fm, 5m on StudiVZ, 5m on Flickr and 3m on YouTube.

No big surprise but… wow. There are certainly explainations for everything, I love playing silly Facebook games for instance, read a lot of Livejournal communities, sometimes spend ages writing an article and then don’t check my website for days. Still, it makes you think alot about your daily habits.

Oh, and before you call me a nerd: try it yourself, have MeeTimer running for a couple of months and then check the statistics. I mean, no offence but the fact that you’re reading this blog right now already says a lot about you, haha.
