Everyday life or Daily life is a phrase used to refer to the ways in which people typically act, think, and feel on a daily basis. The idea involves the definition of the self, and how people conceptualize relationships to the world and others. It involves how people generate, establish, and interpret meaning. The concept of normality can be the sociological and psychological bases for behavioural choices, thoughts and beliefs.
Everyday life may be described as considered mundane, routine, natural or habitual. Human diurnality means most people sleep at least part of the night and are active in daytime. Most eat two or three meals in a day. Working time, apart from shift work is mostly on a daily schedule, beginning in the morning. Evening is often leisure time. Bathing every day is a custom for many.
Beyond these broad similarities, different people spend their day differently. Nomadic life differs from sedentism, and among the sedentary, urban people live differently from rural ones. Differences in the lives of the rich and the poor, or between factory workers and intellectuals, may go beyond their working hours. Many women spend their day in activities greatly different from those of men, and everywhere children do different things than adults.
