If life seems more rushed than ever, you
might be surprised to learn that we Americans don't have less leisure time than
we did 40 years ago．We actually have more leisure time, and quite a bit more．What counts as leisure is up for
argument, but under every definition the numbers have gone up．We get about 45 minutes a day of
extra leisure．
Then why does it feel like we have so much
less? It might be because we waste half of all our leisure time watching
television．The average American
adult devotes 2．5 hours a day
to this hobby．And for every
additional hour we get free, another 30 minutes goes into that boob tube(=TV)．So if you want more free time, I recommend one thing: turn it off．This is easier said than done,
especially during the world series．
When I was growing up, my mom had one piece
of advice for me, and she said it every single morning．'Get out of the house!' It's good
advice．Come join the
6．8 million who
are in a book club, or the 196,000 who attend pro beach volleyball, or the
680,000 who go to tractor pulls every month．There are even 3 million people who enjoy a sport called ‘muzzle
loading,’ which involves shooting a gun that looks 200 years old．
And at the end of the day, there's a thing
in your kitchen called a stove．Turn it on and invite people over．Only 38% of Americans entertain friends or family at home at least
once a year．What were the
other 62% of us doing? Getting a free meal, I suppose．We can do better, America．If we're going to watch so much
television, can't we at least invite friends over to watch?
