How Much I Read Weekly
With all that I have going on I started to wonder how much I actually read in a weeks time. So I sat down and came up with a quick estimate. Odds are I’ve skipped something. I think I’ve under estimated as well but the total was amazing to me.Articles:
15 articles a day - 3 pages on average
15articles x 3pages = 45pages
45pages x 7days = 315pages per week
Email:
1 page per email
20 emails per day (not counting SPAM) x 1 page = 20 pages
(Not counting the mailing lists I?m a part of - 200+ emails a day)
School Work:
1 chapter (Sociology) - 30pages
10pages (English)
English x Sociology = 40pages
Misc:
5 pages
(Random reading: instructions on toothpaste, AIM, to do lists from boss etc?)
Total:
Articles + Email + School Work + Misc =
410 pages per week
How close is this to what you do?

Does this include Web sites or blogs? If “15 articles a day” refers to online articles then I am pretty close to your estimate. I’m not in school but I do read a book (not the whole thing, just a few chapters) a day.
I regularly read about 30-40 blogs a day. Of course blogs are not quite as lengthy as articles but many good ones often lead to articles which I then read.
I also write quite a bit. I must write about 5 pages every single day, not including emails. This includes articles, blogs, comments, etc.
Ok, well, wasn’t that enlightening.
