    ACTIVITY 3: WORK SAMPLING ACTIVITY


    Work sampling is used to know how much of your time is put into value adding
    work or into non-value adding work. After doing the work sampling, getting random
    times makes it unbiased. It shows how much of your time is utilized. Therefore you
    can adjust your behaviour to value adding work. I think it is really helpful to know
    and recall what I have done in the day and see if you really become productive or
    just feeling productive (feelers).

    I allocate 34% of my time in sleeping, 20% in org stuff, 11% chatting in Facebook,
    9% on others, 8% in eating, 8% in commuting, 7% in studying, and 4 % in
    socializing. From this observation, I can also interpret this that on average of the
    observed week, I had 1.7hrs of studying time a day, 4.8hrs of doing org stuff, 8.1hrs
    of sleeping, 1.9hrs of eating, 1.9hrs of commuting, 0.9hrs of socializing, 2.7hours of
    chatting in Facebook, and 2.1hrs of doing other stuff not mentioned.
    My goal is life is to have the things I need and the things I want after. I am not
    greedy; I just want a simple life, no stress, yet getting what is just needed to have
    fun. I think as of the moment my allocation does not lead to my goal because I can
    see that I really did not do well in this past week.
    I can identify that the value adding to achieve my goal is the studying and the org
    stuff. The non-value adding that should be eliminated to improve my productivity
    are the commuting and some of the other stuff I am doing. The business non-value
    adding for me is the sleeping and eating and socializing, because as humans we
    need to get well and interact with each other. Maybe I would lessen my FB to the
    extent that I will use it for academic life, and org stuff, then do the idle part in FB in
    socializing instead.
