Why are little things so hard... especially those that are good for me?

I find it almost amusing but mostly frusterating knowing how alive and energetic I feel when I am spending time with God daily and am constantly in His word, however find it so hard to find time to be there consistantly.

Where does my time go? 

I recently learned that the average Canadian spends more that 8 hours per day viewing tv, reading newspapers and surfing the internet (2008 study sited in the Sun).  Since we don't subscribe to any newspapers and we don't regularly watch telelvision I guess that leaves me to assess how much time I spend on the internet.  Honestly between brief times on my ipod touch and time on our desktop computer my total daily average would be well under 2 hours... this includes school plans, reports and research.  I probably spend 10 minutes at a time 3-6 times per day on the ipod checking email, facebook, book keeping etc.  Computer time for banking, email, school stuff etc probably adds up to 1-3 hours per week in larger chunks of time.  So to be fair I spend probably at the top end an average of 45 minutes per day on my ipod - computer time etc.

That still leaves a lot of time to account for. 

The obvious time used are things like sleep 480 minutes, Personal care 60 minutes, Food prep and meals 180 minutes, homeschooling 90 minutes, phone usage to family, friends and business calls 30 minutes, housework and errands 180, work 120, activities including Bible studies and church 145 minutes. 

Quick summary (time averaged over 7 days)...
Sleep... 480
Meals... 180
Maintenance... 180
Activities... 145
Work... 120
School... 90
Personal... 60
Computer... 45
Phone... 30

Minutes in 24 hours... 1440
Minutes used up daily... 1330
Minutes left for Social life and time with God... 1 hour 50 minutes

In a perfect world I guess that would be ok.  In my world not everything goes according to planned.  Schoolwork gets dragged out, errands take longer than expected, my body needs 12 hours sleep one or two nights in a row and all of a sudden that couple of hours I thought that I had today is gone!!

WOW just taking time to analyze where my time has gone has made me realize how precious it truly is and how much more focused I need to become.  I really want to find a way to put aside 3 hours with God daily.  I know I can do it I just need to figure out how.  Now that I have recognized this I guess I should actually figure it out and follow through or else this time too will have been wasted!
