福克斯新闻 你怎么利用你的时间?

What we don't have time for… What we do have time for… Some of the answers are to be found¹ in the government's Time Use Survey² which finds that if you have kids³ — you have one hour less⁴ a day compared⁵ to an adult⁶ who doesn't have children.

The amount⁷ of time we spend working fell⁸ by three minutes a day. And on work days — men are at the job 53 minutes more than women.

75 and older: 7.5 hours of leisure⁹ time daily¹⁰.

Teenagers¹¹ spend nearly¹² an hour every day — gaming.

And what all of us find time for is TV: nearly 3 hours every day.
