How Do You Spend Your Time?

The New York Times posted an interesting chart on how people (over 15 years old) in the US spend their time on an average day.

It's fascinating (in ways that may or may not be healthy!). You can pick a random time -- let's say 6:50 PM -- and see the percentage of Americans who would normally be engaged in a given activity at that time. At 6:50 PM, 3% of Americans are playing sports. 1% are voluntering, while another 1% are engaged in religious activities (does blogging for a church committee count?). 24% of Americans, at 6:50 PM, would typically be watching television or a movie.
