| 8 | +The normal human spends a significant amount of their time going through chores like: |
| 9 | +- 0.6h a day doing meal prep. |
| 10 | +- 0.3h a day doing home interior cleaning. |
| 11 | +- 0.1h a day doing laundry & clothing care. |
| 12 | +- 0.06h a day doing home repairs and maintenance. |
| 13 | +- For those who are parents it can be a 24/7 task when help is not available, let's discard that given that you can find meaning in it. |
| 14 | +- For those who have pets it can be time consuming as well, let's discard that as well given that you can find meaning in it. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +There are so many other chores that I could mention. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Summing up, humans spend 1h of every day of their lives doing something |
| 19 | +meaningless but that needs to be done. **That's 7h a week**. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +**The average human life expectancy is 70 years**, therefore **the average human spends 2.9 years of their life doing something meaningless but that needs to be done**. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +That's 2.9 years of your life that you will never get back. |
| 24 | +That's 2.9 years of your life that you could have spent doing something |
| 25 | +meaningful, like learning a new skill, spending time with your family, or just relaxing. |
| 26 | +That's 2.9 years of your life that you could have spent doing something |
| 27 | +that you actually enjoy. |
| 28 | +That's 2.9 years of your life that you could have spent doing something |
| 29 | +that you actually care about. |
| 30 | +That's 2.9 years of your life that you could have spent doing something |
| 31 | +that you actually love. |
| 32 | +That's 2.9 years of your life that you could have spent doing something |
| 33 | +that you actually want to do. |
