I studied economics. There's a widely accepted concept of 'disposable income'. That's how much money one has to spend "on a whim". So how much time per week do you think to have to do with however you like.
Consider that humans are 'social animals'. The worst punishment is solitary confinment- which leads to insanity. We need to socialize with other people as much as wee need sleep and food. So socialization, to a large degree is not 'disposable' time- we have to socialize, to some degree.
So, there are 168 hours in a week. We spend 56 hours sleeping. 40 plus hours at jobs. __ hours 'decompressing' (relaxing) after work. Around 20 hours grocery shopping/cooking/eating/digesting & relaxing after meals. We spend hours getting dressed and undressed, doing laundry. We spend some time each week shopping/doing errands. If ya got kids well there's a big chunk of hours.
So tell me, how many hours on average per week do you calculate that you have as totally 'you' time?
