Basic living time Sleep takes up the most time in our lives. We spend an average of 28.3 years sleeping, which is about 1/3 of our total lifespan. A significant amount of time is spent on personal hygiene, grooming, and eating, which is 5 years. Work and Education At 10.5 years, we spend our time at work, the second longest after sleep. At 3.5 years, we spend our time in education, which is relatively short considering the importance of lifelong learning. Leisure and Media Consumption Modern people spend a whopping nine years watching TV, playing video games, and using social networks. That’s almost three times as much time as they spend in education, a testament to the digital age. Daily activities and household chores Housework and household chores take 6 years, shopping takes 2.5 years, childcare takes 1.5 years, and commuting to work takes 1.3 years. These essential daily activities take up a total of 11.3 years. Meaning of remaining time The remaining nine years of life, after all the above activities, are free to be used as one chooses. How one spends this precious time can vary depending on one's values and goals, and this can have a significant impact on the quality and satisfaction of one's life. The Importance of Time Management This data clearly shows the proportion of each activity in our lives, and suggests that we need to think about how to use our limited time effectively. In particular, making meaningful use of our nine years of free time can play an important role in increasing our overall life satisfaction.
