    Half of those “8 hours for what we will” are spent getting ready for, transportation between, and decompressing from the work hours. After time for cooking, cleaning, shopping, and other chores, we still get very little of the “what we will” hours.

      You didn’t mention unpaid lunch time, making sure you get there before clock in, any phone calls or emails that happen after hours, taking kids to daycare, and all the little things that you wouldn’t be doing if it wasn’t for your job. I guess that comes out of the “8 hours of sleep” time.

      Yeah, life was a lot simpler when your wife/servant prepped all your food and work was a fifteen minute walk away.

        That’s the world executives still live in, contributing significantly to the disconnect between their realities and those of their workers.
