How Do You Spend Your Day?

The New York times has created a very slick interactive chart showing how Americans over the age of 15 spend their day.

It's quite interesting to see how the different demographics spend their time and although there's plenty in here which is obvious, there are a few things I thought were interesting:

Among the employed workforce who reported their day in this survey - the average time spent working was 5 hours, 12 minutes (if only my day was that short).

But it would also seem that people with advanced educations also work smarter, not harder, by a full 2 minutes:

When it came to sports or physical activity, the numbers got a little misleading. According the chart - men played sports or watched sports for an average of 27 minutes per day. Erm...last time I checked - watching sports was not the same as doing it. Who would have thought a simple misunderstanding was the reason for soaring obesity rates?

There's plenty more in there - so have a snoop around and see how you compare.

How do you spend your day?
