How other people spend their time

This is sort of a fun little graphic to waste several minutes (or an hour!) playing around with selecting different criteria to see how the average person spends their time:

From the survey:
A person, an average, spends 24 minutes a day preparing meals. Other top household activities include interior cleaning (22 minutes), lawn care (11 minutes) and laundry (10 minutes).

Er... women spend 2 hours and 11 minutes on these things above apparently while men spend 1 hour and 19 minutes.  My guess is that I spend at least an hour a day on cooking alone - but then again, I like cooking.  Having said that, it's not something I spend as much time on when I'm working since I consolidate it all to the weekends, just like the cleaning.

Here's a neat post on how to get ahead:

And a consumer price index calculator that's kind of fun to play around with to see what that car you bought in the '80's would cost you comparatively today:

Also an interesting paper on goal intentions - how you're much more likely to get done what you want to do if you set a time to actually do it:
