How much free time do you have per day?

Question

I'm wondering how much free time most working people have per day after all of the bills are payed, household chores, and errands are done. Is there any websites or books or anything that suugest ways to get more free time? Who has more free time, single or married people? What about two income households?

Answer 1

I hear soooooooooo many people complain about NOT having much time for anything... I laugh since WE are the ones scheduling OUR days....

WE are the ones in charge of our lives... I find it humorous that some people will blame others for THEIR lack of time to live or simply to relax.

I have approx. 5 hours on any given day PLUS sleeping time. I am married, self employed with numerous businesses and I do EVERYTHING at home for my husband. He has to do nothing (unless it is repair the water heater or stiff like that). I take care of all the yard work, and in winter I take care of the wood buring stove. I have time for myself because I CHOOSE to. : )

Answer 2

I'm a stay at home mom who does daycare with one boy and I work part time janitoral on weekends. I'm living with a great guy who works full time and my daughter is in grade 1 and my son is 4 and stays with me. When everything is done for the day I have any where between 2-3 hrs or I sneak some time here and there if I get the chance. My time is important to me and I'm also very organized so the day is pretty rountine some days are more hectic then others but as long as I get an hour before bed I'm satisfied.

Answer 3

Some days its hard to find free time...thank god for weekends and the time between 4-5 am Mon-Fri
