activities
.
It can be seen that Housework, shopping and job hunting were the most common activities
in the morning. Approximately half of the females were busy with house chores. The least common time spent by males and females was drinking . Both genders preferred to do leisure activities
in the afternoon.

interesting to note that men were more than twice as likely to focus on improvement. For instance
, 14% of males did gardening compared to 2% of women and took sport and walking. However
, less productive activities
like visiting town, staying in bed and sitting around were similar for both genders.
