The anatomy of a day

There are 24 hours in a day, or 1,440 minutes. The average person sleeps around eight hours, that leaves 16 waking hours left to spend however we want. We need to subtract the seven to eight hours a day during which most people work; so, we’re down to nine remaining hours.

Much of those nine hours are taken up by life administration: shopping, housework, unpaid labor (e.g. care work), and eating and drinking.

The fact is that we all have the same number of hours in the day, and it’s up to us to decide how we spend them.

We each have our own personal values, concerns, and preferences.
