By the time I was senior enough I was focusing on graduating early so I didn't have the time to take it (at one point I had three CS classes in a semester, which is two more than you really can handle).

He was a mentor of one of my friends.The best piece of advice Dr. Pausch gave my friend was to stop playing video games because that was time that could be spend doing other more productive activities. The irony being is that Dr. Pausch's virtual worlds work was precisely the thing that made newer video games enticing. Jim did you take one of Dr. Pausch’s classes?

I'd love to have an iPhone app that could be used for tracking time spent on various activities. Kind of like a stopwatch, but with different (user-created) categories.

I'd say it's one of those necessary things you have to do each day. Now maybe if you took a second shower right after the 1st one for no reason you could drop that into the waste bucket....

A shower is not "waste". Neither is a morning meditation, going to church (if that's your thing), or talking with friends. Being efficient with your time is a laudable goal, but if you only focus outward, you're neglecting yourself. I suggest another category – “taking care of yourself”. A shower is not “waste”.
