As for work stress, on average people actually spendtime working than they used to. The American Time Use Survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a diary of how people actually use their time, found people did real, actual work for an average of just 3.5 hours a day in 2021, down from 3.8 hours in 2007 . This is much less than the 9.7 hours spent on personal care and 5.3 hours for leisure and sports, but more than for other activities like housework and shopping.

In a survey by Salary.com, 89 per cent of respondents admitted to wasting time at work every day — on gossip, talking on the phone or browsing the internet — with fully a quarter saying they wasted two hours or more. Legendary financier T. Boone Pickens observed that for some people the challenge is to “work eight hours and sleep eight hours, and make sure that they are not the same eight hours.”
