Hours in a day

Thank you Justin for the wonderful idea on how to procrastinate from my never ending lesson plans. I got to thinking, "How much do I plan, and how much to I actually teach." This is what I found when I break up my average day:

Eating: 1/2 hour, 2% of my day
Smiling: 1/2 hour, 2% of my day
Commuting: 1 hour, 4% of my day
Sleeping: 5 hours, 20% of my day
Teaching-Instruction: 4 hours, 17%
Preparing for Teaching: 8 hours, 33%
Time spent in school: 9 hours, 38%

So it adds up to 116% of my day, which will explain why I am so stressed out. Who knew that I plan 2X as much as I actually am teaching.
