[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not a parent, are you?

8-9 hrs of sleep  - my kids are grown but I can only sleep about 6.5 hours, menopause
3 hrs of cooking/eating - 3 hours a day?  dinner takes 30 minutes to cook, 20 minutes to eat. Breakfast and lunch are eaten while doing something else
1.5-2 hrs exercise/cool down - you're dreaming. I run 3X a week and work while I cool down. Get in a 30 minute walk most other days.
30 mins-1 hr sex/physical pleasure -15 minutes once or twice a week for sex, read before bed
1 hr errands - daily? Nope.  I spend an hour or so each weekend
2 hrs of community/socializing - this is done while watching the kids' practices or while doing other things

4-6 hrs working max is what someone can do[/quote]
not the OP but

6.5 is not enough. there are studies on this and women in peri and menopause are chronically sleep deprived.
sitting for meals is good for the family and your body/relationship with food. you are also older and have had time to learn how to cook faster/easier plus your kids are grown- you can eat whatever. I make a hot breakfast and hot dinner every day, lunch is leftovers.
150 minutes minimum is the suggested aerobic activity level=20-30 minutes per day, you should be strength training (4-6 days per week), especially for your combined age and sex, it can also help with sleep. I walk my dog for 45+ minutes every night for her health and mine. 
the sex thing I cant fathom spending 30-60 per day but reading is pleasurable to me and I try to do that for 30-45 min every day
between grocery shopping, kid errands, house errands, vet, doctors appointments, pick up drop off, house cleaning, laundry, putting away laundry, trash take out, recycling take out, cleaning out the car, buying birthday party gifts, etc I definitely average 60 min per day minimum
socializing should be social/rest. It is good for the mind to just sit and be bored/relax. we are more likely to spend 4-6 hours on the weekend socializing with friends vs every day.
