According to a new study, the average American spends four years and three months of their life escaping from reality.  That works out to about 13 hours a week.  Here’s how it breaks down . . .

1. Listening to music . . . two hours and 47 minutes a week.

2. Watching movies or TV . . . two hours and 37 minutes.

3. Walking or exercising . . . one hour and 58 minutes.

4. Reading . . . one hour and 35 minutes.

5. Playing video games . . . one hour and 29 minutes.

6. Exploring new places, even if it’s just online . . . 56 minutes.

7. Meditating or doing yoga . . . 51 minutes.

8. Researching or thinking about vacations . . . 44 minutes.

The study also found we’re most likely to daydream about being somewhere else at 1:56 P.M. on Mondays.  (New York Post)
