Locking down inside interface

So my journey of configuring the ASA5505 I bought used off eBay continues.

So far I have complete functionality and everything is working but now I'd like to lock things down a little tighter. Since this is a home firewall I would imagine the amount of outgoing traffic for tivos and xboxes and iphones/ipads and the like will probably be pretty overwhelming. Are there any suggestions on how I could work towards getting a baseline of what traffic I should expect to see leaving my network out to the internet?

 

Would it just be as simple as logging all outgoing traffic for say a week to see what services are going out or does anyone have a more elegant solution. I think my old Asus firewall was just letting all traffic out which is how my ASA is configured now.

There are a couple ow ways to find out how much traffic these devices will consume. But all need a network-device that "sees" the traffic. And with the ASA in place, the statistics that you can enable on the ASDM-Dashboard are a quite good starting point.
