A team of scientists at the University of Columbia discovered the secret behind the “best day”.
Scientists have found that a good best day is not required for entertainment, but rather a uniform distribution between a collection of daily activities, including spending time with family and friends, working for limited hours, and controlling the use of phones and mobile devices.
In the study, the group relied on the data analysis of the 2013 and 2021 versions of the US survey on how to manage the time (ATUs) reflecting the normal American lifestyle.
The survey collects information on time allocated by individuals to more than 100 different activities, such as work, social communication, children’s care, entertainment and voluntary charity.
Scientists have used artificial intelligence to analyze the measures that have had the biggest positive impact today, depending on their day’s evaluation, such as “normal” or “better than usual”.
The group was able to determine the best period to achieve the best day form for each operation:
Scientists confirm that the excessive use of phone screens or tablets does not contribute to the feeling of happiness, but usually weaken the quality of the day.
The study team, led by social psychologist Tonyjal Balk, found that social communication, especially with friends and family, has a direct and positive impact on today’s quality.
Unlike the general idea, the analysis shows that the analysis does not spoil the work. On the contrary, the tasks were attached to the positive assessment of the day, not more than 6 hours, while satisfaction rates began to decline after this limit was over.
Short navigation periods (15 minutes or less) showed a little positive impact, perhaps due to the conditions of Kovit -19, gave the home the opportunity to improve the mood.
Understanding the details of the time and the optimal times of everyday activities helps to access the knowledge of a good day – therefore, the recipe for a good life.
This study was published in its initial form of cycling, and it is still subject to a review of peers. Daily mail
