Good Morning, SuperForest!
A couple days ago, I saw this gnarly infographic on the New York Times website describing how different groups above the age of 15 spend their time. The percentage of time was labeled on one axis and on the other was the 24 hour progression of time itself. The day is then split up into categories like “Traveling”, “Sleeping”, “Working”, etc. and by the click of a button, you can see the graph adjust to a different demographic. It’s pretty fascinating stuff (Grandma and Grandpa watch a lot of TV and movies).

But as it so often happens with stuff found on the web, this graph got me thinking. Looking at our days in a way that is so structured and uniform ironically makes it seem like it is lacking a human element. Where is the time spent performing actions out of love or gratitude? Where is the time spent encouraging self-worth?
So, SuperForesters, this prompts the question: How do you categorize or measure your days on this life journey? How do you value your time? In other words, would your personal graph look like the one pictured above? How would it be different?
Tell us what you think!
