Question 1

I have about 20 hours of free time each week. My weekday mornings are usually vacant and I use it to lounge around or catch-up on housechores. I definitely have more free time now. Five years ago I was working for an architectural firm and we rarely have days when we don't need to work overtime. I think I have the same free time with people my age. The only difference is that they mainly have full weekends off while mine is spread out on weekday mornings.

Question 2

I dread doing the laundry and folding clothes. It consumes so much time. Recently I've been trtying to multi-task and catch-up on my favorite tv shows while folding clothes but still, I find it too tedious. I look forward to the day someone will create a product that automatically folds clothes and stores it in our closets.

Question 3

I don't think I have been using my free time well. I've set some goals before this year started but I haven't ticked one item on my list yet. I'm good at time-management but when it comes to projects that don't impact anyone else but me, I tend to porcrastinate.

Question 4

I have the most free time on Sundays. Basically my schedule is flexible because I can decide if I'd like to go to work or not on this day. My husband is also off on Sundays so we spend it on grocery shopping , going out to amusement parks or exploring new places.

Question 5

Evenings are the the most relaxing part of my day. After I get home and take a bath, I can finally unwind and either read a book or just watch some tv shows until I doze off.

Question 6

When we purchased a dishwasher a few months ago, it definitely saved us a lot of time. It's also refreshing to see a clean sink without piles of unwashed dishes.
