i know i'm a bit late to the thread however ... we used to start counting time once the lead person prayed .. so after the sunday mtg we'd gather in the library .. pray .. start time .. setup groups .. go talk to others before they left the building .. eat lunch (sometimes mcdonalds sometimes a real resturant) ... travel to where ever .. knock on a door ... usually got 1 - 1.5 hours free time that way ... also coffee breaks / lunch breaks were counted
there were also many times that i just put down 4 hours for the month when i did nothing just to make it look good and keep elders off my back
