How many years do you really live for yourself ?

Jai Gurudev !

A simple calculation on how our lifespan is distributed generally ...I bet you , it’d be quite interesting .

Our lifespan , let's consider it as  70 years , better we  keep it on the higer side .

On an average ,
we sleep for about 8 hrs a day , meaning one third of our lifetime is spent in sleeping .
We spend about 2 to 3 hrs a day in bathrooms  that amounts to approximately ie one nineth of our lifetime .
We eat and munch for about 2 to 3 hrs a day , then another one nineth of lifespan is gone .
Then we travel or commute for about 2 hrs a day , one more one twelth of lifetime is passed off .
And our worktime is about 8 hrs a day , adding up to another one third of our lifetime .
How much time do you think , it will be left over ?



Total Lifespan (say)
70 yrs


Years spent for sleeping (1/3 th)
23.3 yrs
Years spent in bathrooms ( 1/9 th)
7.7 yrs
Years spent for eating (1/9th)
7.7 yrs
Years spent in travel (1/12 th)
5.83 yrs
Years spent in work (1/3 th)
23.3 yrs
Total years spent for the above
67.86

Actual years left over for other activities
70 - 67.8
2.2 yrs

 So,out of 70 long years ,  we are left with only  2.2 years for our own self ! 



And in that short span , what not we do ?
We gossip , fight , grumble , be depressed , become tensed etc...
Do we really strive to spend that  little time  effectively ?
To do our favourite hobbies , to talk to our loving friends /family members , to enjoy and be relaxed , tension free , go on a lovely tourist spot , to be with ourselves ?

It's a question worth asking ourself and introspect  , I guess !!
What do you say ?


Love & smiles...
