Calculate the percentage of time you spend in each category. EX: With 24 hours in a day x 60 minutes in each hour you experience a total of 1, 440 minutes in a day. If you spent 60 minutes a day walking and feeding your dog (AM & PM), you spend 4% of your day feeding and walking your dog. After you determine your percentages, complete the reflection questions on the following page.
