Here is an interesting chart on the average American work day from the American Time Use Survey, released by the U.S. Department of Labor – Bureau of Labor Statistics. The chart shows time use on an average work day for employed persons ages 25-54 with children. Data include non-holiday weekdays and are annual averages for 2005.
So, how does this compare to your typical work day?

Last year my daughter was given a math assignment to record her activites for an entire week, then graph how much time she spent on each activity – sleeping, eating, studying, etc. I chose to do the assignment as well, and found it very enlightening to see where my time was spent. I was surprised to see how much time I spent on mundane personal and household activities and pleased to see how much time I spent just pondering life & appreciating nature. It was a wonderful exercise that I would challenge all of us to do at least once a year.
