Links, Week 8: Back home

My last week in New York, I spent 24 hours online. My first week back home, I've spent 43 hours.

Blogging: 25 hours, 20 minutes.
Time Suck: 11 hours, 51 minutes
Neutral Time: 3 hours 21 minutes
Email: 1 hour, 43 minutes
Literary: 1 hour, 19 minutes

The 11 hours of wasted time looks pretty bad, but let's look at it in a different light: I've maintained a 2:1 ratio of writing time versus wasted time. That's something to be proud of. And I hit my targets: 1 fiction post, 1 poem, and 5 essays.
