Lines, traffic, hold music and loading spinners add up. Estimate your daily waiting to see the share of your waking life it takes and the total time so far.

Waiting happens in small slices, so it rarely feels like much until you add it up.
Seeing your biggest category shows where a podcast, a book or a schedule change helps most.
It is a reminder that patience is a skill you practice every single day.
Your daily waiting minutes are added up and divided by the minutes you are awake each day, which gives the share of your waking life spent waiting. Totals so far multiply your daily minutes by 365.25 days per year for every year since your counting start age; totals ahead do the same up to your life expectancy. The whole-life percentage spreads those minutes over every hour of your life, including sleep and early childhood.
The default category values are rough everyday estimates, not survey data, so change them to fit your routine. Commuters in big cities may wait far longer in traffic, while remote workers may spend more time watching progress bars.
Waiting is compared with the hours you are actually awake.
From traffic to toasters, edit each one separately.
Movies, novels and languages put the hours in perspective.
They are rough everyday estimates meant as a starting point. Replace them with your own numbers for a personal result.
Young children wait too, but their time is shaped by adults. Change the start age to any value you like.
Only the stop-and-go part. Put red lights and traffic jams under traffic; moving travel time is not really waiting.
Batch errands, shop at off-peak hours, use online booking and keep a book or podcast handy for the waiting you cannot avoid.
