Most of us often ask the question, where does the time go? For those of you who've asked that question, a recent poll by Priority Management, Inc. has the answer: In a lifetime, the average American will spend: Six months sitting at stoplights, eight months opening junk mail, one year looking for misplaced objects, two years unsuccessfully returning phone calls, and seven years waiting in line. I can believe that one! Just try going to Six Flags during the summer or the grocery store when a winter storm is on its way. Talk about lines. Or how about this statistic? The average American adult between eighteen and sixty-four watches television five times more than they read. On average, their minutes are spent each day on: Sleeping...461, Working...211, Watching TV...121, Doing Housework...101, Traveling...78, Eating...69, Socializing…46, Recreation...31, Caring for children...28, Dressing...28, Washing/Grooming...25, Reading...24, Conversing...24, Thinking or relaxing...9 minutes.
