Look at these two pie graphs.
They show how these two people spend their days, not including weekends.
The one on the top shows how Emma devides up her days.
She is a designer who works for a large company.
As Emma's graph shows, the biggest portion of her day is spent working.
She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day.
She gets an average of 6 hours of sleep, which is 25% of her day.
That's less sleep than Martin gets.
According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours of sleep, which is about 29% of his day.
On the other hand, Martin who is an engineer, works more hours than Emma does.
Martin averages 9 hours a day at work, compared to Emma's 8.
That's thirty-seven point five percent compared to thirty-three percent.
Other factors shown in the graphs include time for meals and commuting to work.
Other activities include getting dressed and household chores, such as doing laundry and paying bills.
As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time.
If he could reduce his commute time he would have more time for other things.
And it isn't just the time.
When the traffic is really heavy, his commute is stressful.
It would be great if he could work from home one or two days a week.
His life would be more enjoyable.
As looking at Emma's graph, we see that she probably needs more sleep.
Perhaps she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends.
On the other hand, socializing with her friends is something she really values.
As for putting on makeup, she isn't willing to change that.
For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stress of work.
In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish that there were more hours in a day.
