These stats always freak me out when you extrapolate it over the long term. The average adult will also spend 2 years commuting or an entire year of their life sitting on the toilet.
Lot's of wasted time here people. I think this also shows the power of what we can accomplish by spending 10 minutes a day doing something.
It can be quite difficult to convert random time savings into valuable time.
1) Is marginal free time actually converted to value (eg, Quality study time vs TikTok infinite scrolling)
2) Can Marginal free time be chained into valuable blocks (saving 1 minute commuting such that you're 2 more minute earl y for 30 appointments, you cannot chain that into a 1 hour study block.
Edit: I will say Ankidroid has helped me get some value out of random deadspace though.
If they sit on the toilet while staring at the screen, what bucket these years are assigned to? I.e. these extrapolations could result in multiples of your lifespan.
