My answer is that I can’t state accurately the amount of time I spend outside every day. I used to work outside but have stopped. Now I work indoors on my computer. On weekdays, I do need to go out to run errands. These typically require at least 2 1/2 hours each. That’s the time required for traveling to the venue via public transport, performing the procurement of the item, and then traveling back by cab because I need to carry some bags.
If I run two errands, then the time I need is added by 1 – 2 hours. You can imagine using 4 1/2 hours to run two errands at two different venues. Half a day is gone.

The two sets of doodles show me running two different errands at two places. Then I take a bus home.
This is how I typically spend my time when I’m outside home, running errands.
