I’ve been using Rescue Time in the last couple of weeks to log my laptop usage. This is my weekly report for Feb 8 – Feb 14.

It’s election time in Israel and I’m highly addicted to staying informed. A good amount of the time I spent on social networks (total of 9 hours, mostly Facebook but also a bit of twitter) is news (mostly elections) related but that’s hard to measure. Social media is also my main gateway to other news outlets.

9 Hours of social media equals the cooking time of 3 (sequential) batches of roast beef: 

 =  3 x 

This is a breakdown of my news & opinion consumption.

Out of a total of 6.5 logged hours. Haaretz dominates my news consumption. I follow it on Facebook which leads me to trending articles, which in turn, through a series of internal references, keeps me reading various articles in their website. I mostly visit Israeli news websites. However, due to the weather I started reading the Boston Globe which gets me engaged with other storied related to the USA, Massachusetts and Boston.

6.5 hours of news & opinion equals the cooking time of a fine batch of Israeli hummus!

And Benjamin fuckin’ Netanyahu is still going to be re-elected.
