According to a Lou Harris survey, the amount of leisure time
enjoyed by the average American has shrunk 37 percent since
1973, while the the average workweek (including commuting)
has increased from fewer than 41 hours to nearly 47 hours.
In many professions, an 80-hour work week is not uncommon!Harris concludes that "time may have become the most precious commodity in the land."
Look at your typical week. Is it balanced between work and leisure time, or is the scale weighing heavily on the work end?
Don't ignore leisure time. You work hard, and you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
