Canadian researchers have identified a formula for the perfect day involving specific time allocations: six hours with family, two with friends, one and a half socialising, two exercising, one eating, and a maximum of six hours working. Analysts used data from the American Time Use Survey, concluding that socialising boosts happiness, but additional time in this activity may not be as beneficial as engaging in exercise. Their findings suggest limiting screen time, including TV and devices, to enhance overall happiness.
"Life requires complex trade-offs between competing activities. The present research reveals surprisingly clear tipping points that distinguish better days from typical ones."
"Compared to a third hour of socialising, an hour of exercising might be a better use of time."
