The Best Visualizations Of How People Spend Their Days. There have been several visualizations created over the past couple of years showing how people spend their days.
I’ve used them in lessons where students have created infographics indicating how they spend their time, and then they compare their results with the interactives. Here are my choices for The Best Visualizations Of How People Spend Their Days: How We Spend Our Time Now, in Three (Really Big) Graphs is from The Atlantic. What Americans Actually Do All Day Long, In 2 Graphics is the newest one, just published at NPR. In 2012, The Wall Street Journal has published a very accessible infographic titled At Work And At Play.
How People Like You Spend Their Time. The American Time Use Survey is an ongoing program from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that asks thousands of people, as you might guess, what they did during the last 24 hours.
Using the data for 2015, I simulated days for different groups of people so that you can see the hours they typically spend in a 24-hour period. The interactive below shows the results. Each row represents an activity, and each gray line represents the hours spent in one person’s day. I ran 100 simulations for each demographic group. The orange line shows the median hours for each activity. For some activities, such as household work and leisure, the number of hours spent varies a lot, which is why you see a lot of criss-crossing lines.

Instead of saying ‘nine oh five’ I will say ‘five past nine’ or simply ‘five past’ if I think the hour is implicit. When I taught about time I would draw a diagram on the board explaining the different areas of the clock face. Then a few years ago I decided to turn that diagram into a PowerPoint slide that I could copy and paste into other presentations when I needed to model telling the time. The first time I used it, it worked really well. Different colors indicated whether to use past/after and to, and the numbers on the outer ring showed whether to say ’10 to…’ or ’50.’ More importantly, I didn’t lose class time trying to draw it clearly.
