I don't really consider sleeping, eating or fitness wasted time really, you basically need it and most I personally find it enjoyable and excluding sleeping, it's practically a use of free time. I think would love some checkbox that signifies a "waste" in a sense.

Also, your application doesn't seem to like accidental space-bars being pressed in inputs. Causes NaN and its hard to figure out why.

Regardless pretty cool/interesting

Author here - I find a lot of those mentioned personally enjoyable too, but what I was essentially trying to do was quantify my own 'must do' activities (e.g. if I don't sleep ~8hrs/night things go downhill fast, etc) regardless of whether or not I enjoy them.

From there, I view the remaining time as truly open, not requiring working, or general meat sack maintenance. Categorization can definitely go either way though. Part of the message, aside from just quantifying how limited time is, would be to find enjoyment where you can in your 'mandatory' activities too as they'll represent the bulk of your life.

I wish I could give this comment more upvotes. I'm slowly learning this lesson in my personal life - I wish I could learn it faster, but the goddamn brain is just too much more insistent than the body..
