Media diary

The period I kept a media diary was from friday 20.11. untill tuesday 24.11. and it was a very typical week for me, except the tuesday when I was sick. I actually thought I use less of media in my everyday life what actually happened. It feels I never have time to do anything, but now I can see it´s not totally the truth. I talk on a phone few of times a day for 5 to 10 minutes at time. Once or twice a week I talk longer with a good friend of mine, but even then the call lasts mostly for 20 minutes. I´m never on-line anymore. I used to be, but after my younger son was born, there is just no time anymore. I also marked out I´m doing many things at the same time, reading mails, watching tv, doing household works, playing with the boys, watching children tv programmes, talking on the phone and calming a child in sleep. Even in the evening after children are in bed and I get to spend my own time, I´m watching movies or tv programmes and doing homeworks and maybe talking on a phone too. Guess I can´t concentrate in silence anymore. Only time I´m actually focusing on one thing only is while I´m playing Nintendo Wii with my son. These sessions are also short, 20-30 minutes most, we played on friday and saturday. I was on a phone even when I was jogging, that´s really sad I think. I get a chance for a private sport moment maybe once a week and even then I´m doing something else but focusing on performance. I read a newspaper on one day only and watched the news on one day. I used to read a newspaper on every morning, or in the evening at least, if the day was a catastrof. Nowdays it´s good if I find time to read the paper on sundays.

All of this, except some phone calls, happend at home. I use my own computer, sheldom a friends one or the ones in University. I also marked out I didn´t surf on net at all.
