time use

We had to do more from home. Here’s how much everything shifted by total minutes in a day.

This is a 24-hour snapshot for a day in the life of Americans.

After looking at how much time we spent on daily activities in 2020, let’s look at when we spent our time.

Our everyday routines changed over the past year, and with the 2020 American Time Use Survey, we can see by how much.

Working from home was an ideal that many strived for. For many, it still is, but for those with kids who have to learn from home, the schedule change is less than ideal.

From the teenage years to college to adulthood through retirement, sleep is all over the place at first but then converges towards consistency.

It seems like no matter what I do, I cannot sleep through the night. Will it ever let up? According to the data, the answer is no and it will only get worse.

The American Time Use Survey recently released results for 2018. That makes 15 years of data. What’s different? What’s the same?

The day-to-day changes a lot when you have kids. However, it seems to change more for women than it does for men.

I compared time use for those with children under 18 against those without. Here’s where the minutes go.

Using the past couple of years of data from the American Time Use Survey, I simulated a working day for men and women to see how schedules differ. Watch it play out in this animation.

How the schedules between remote and non-remote workers differ during workdays.

Sleep. Work. Play. The times and everything in between change depending on who you talk to.

It’s harder to make friends as you get older. There aren’t as many…

There is a fixed number of minutes during the day. Where do parents usually draw the time from?
