How much leisure time should you have per day?
Apparently, the sweet spot for extra free time is about three and a half hours per day. The more free time, the better, right? Not necessarily, researchers say. A new study finds that people may be just as unhappy with “too much” free time as they are with too little.
How much free time do you have a day?
People who had up to two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who’d had less time.
