5840 hrs awake, based on 16hours per day.
2080 hrs at work, based on a 40hr work week - of course not counting days off.
Math seems to be mathing (mostly) but it feels wrong, work definitely feels like it takes up much more than 1/3rd of our waking hours.
- DavidPiper 2y agoThings get murky because you have to include commuting and preparation/returning home time. But I also like to distinguish physical time and mental time. Sure physically I'm at work for 40 hours a week, but the mental space it takes up is far more. If anyone has good tips on how to mentally separate from work after hours I would love to hear them. I know some people can literally switch it on and off like a light but I've never been able to.
