Let's say the average lifespan is 78 years. Just how much time do we spend on everyday activities?
That's just what an enterprising German researcher asked, but he did the work which was published in the German Science magazine Geo Wissen. Here's Life by Numbers
sleeping - 24 years, 4 months
at our jobs - 7 years
watching TV - 5 years, 6 months
eating and drinking - 5 years
cooking family meals - 2 years, 2 months
talking - 2 years, 10 months
going to school - 1 year, 10 months
cleaning, 1 year, 4 months
relaxing - 12 months
washing and ironing - 9 months
commuting to our jobs - 9 months
do it yourself projects - 5 months
playing computer games - 4 months
waiting - 3 months
kissing - 2 weeks
praying - 2 weeks
having orgasms -16 hours
After looking at the last three on the list, I think many of use have to find better use of our time!
