1581 Days Driving, 26 Years Sleeping—How Much Time Do We Spend Doing Regular Tasks Over Our Lifetimes?
There are a lot of things we have to do on a regular basis just in order to exist. Between eating, sleeping, going to the DMV, and a slew of other tasks, we live pretty busy lives. Activities that seem like they only take a little bit of time can really add up over the course of our lives.
