Time Allocation Explained
Sleep Time (Blue)
Based on 8 hours of sleep daily, approximately one-third of remaining life. Adequate sleep is crucial for health.
Work Time (Gray-Brown)
Based on 8-hour workdays and retirement at 65. Work occupies a large portion of life, making meaningful work important.
Retirement Years (Orange)
Time after retirement at 65. This is life's golden period to enjoy freedom and hobbies.
Time with Children (Pink)
Based on childbirth at 28, 5 hours daily with children before age 18. This seemingly long time passes quickly.
Time with Parents (Gray)
Based on monthly one-day visits to parents until they reach 80. Time with parents is actually very limited and should be cherished.
Remaining Time (Light Gray)
After deducting above time, truly free personal time. How this time is spent determines life quality.
