The survey collects information from adults aged 18 years and over who are randomly sampled from the <a href="https://natcen.ac.uk/centres/natcen-panel" target="_blank">NatCen Opinion Panel</a>, which is representative of the UK population. Data collected between March 2020 and March 2021 covers Great Britain and data collected from March 2022 onwards covers the United Kingdom. Participants were issued with two pre-allocated diary days (one on a weekday and one on a weekend day). They were asked to record their main activities (in 10-minute intervals) and up to five secondary activities (in five-minute intervals) in every 24 hours within an online diary tool. Respondents were able to select activities from a pre-defined list. They were also asked to rate how much they enjoyed different activities. In addition, respondents were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire which records personal and household characteristics. Latest edition information For the third edition (August 2024), data and documentation for Wave 8 (9 to 17 March 2024) were added to the study.  Main Topics: The annual data files include the following variables:<ul><li>main activities (in 10-minute periods) </li><li>up to five secondary activities (in five-minute periods)</li><li>count of all 5-minute primary activities </li><li>total in minutes of all primary activities</li><li>count of all 5-minute secondary activities</li><li>total in minutes of all secondary activities</li><li>enjoyment level (scale 1-7) for all primary activities (in 10-minute periods) </li><li>enjoyment level (scale 1-7) for all secondary activities (in five-minute periods)</li><li>basic demographics, including personal well-being rating variables. </li></ul> ECONOMIC ACTIVITYSEXSTATUS IN EMPLOYMENTINCOMETRAVELLING TIMERELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONAGEHOURS OF WORKILL HEALTHSOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITSETHNIC GROUPSWELL-BEING (HEALTH)LIFE SATISFACTIONVOLUNTARY WORKHOUSEHOLDSLEISURE TIMESEXUAL ORIENTATIONMARITAL STATUSDEBILITATIVE ILLNESSNATIONAL IDENTITYHOUSING TENUREEMOTIONAL STATESTIME BUDGETS en 2024-02-01T13:30:42Z Dataset <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/re-using-public-sector-information/uk-government-licensing-framework/crown-copyright/" target="_blank">© Crown copyright</a>.
