It's not just chores. It's really about how to organise the day and how much to do in a day. I'm in my late fifties and I really have no idea what my day is supposed to look like. I have a partner and look after my elderly mum. I realise that I now seem to have absolutely no idea how much people manage to get done in a day. I know that's a bit like saying how long is a piece of string. I find if I have a busy day then I am tired the next day. Years ago I had a family friend and his wife who st the time were in their 70s. They would have at least one date with friends a day...coffee, lunch, dinner date whatever. Plus they'd do all their weekly shopping, housework, volunteering. You name it. Every single day their diary was packed from morning to night. If I had even one day like they used to have I think I'd drop dead the next day. I suppose I'm just asking ....what is a typical day like for most people of my age. Are most people shopping, washing, cooking, out with friends, etc etc every day. I'd be very interested to hear some descriptions of what a typical day is like for other people in their forties and fifties. I know it will vary from.person ro person but I genuinely haven't got a clue how much or how little people do in a day.
