Over the past three and half months my lovely girlfriend has been suffering from terrible eczema, so she's basically not been helping much with the household chores, which is why I've been looking at how long I've spend doing housework everyday.
I have been measured how long I spent doing work and what sort of work it was. The measurements almost certainly an underestimate as I've probably missed little tasks here and there, e.g. cleaning up a spill or any such ad hoc task.
I've broken down the tasks in three categories: Cooking, Cleaning and Miscellaneous.
The first two are self explanatory, although it's worth mentioning that when it comes to cooking I have only counted the preparation time, except for when the cooking time was so short that it would not really allow me to do anything else, in practice this only has significant a bearing in Sundays figures as we normally have pancakes, french toast or eggs Benedict for breakfast.
Miscellaneous is anything that is not cooking or cleaning, e.g. tidying up, putting the washing away, etc..
We live in a, small?, two bedroom apartment (about 60 m2) and have no children or pets, don't eat out much (twice a month since the data keeping started) and mostly cook from scratch, so without further ado, these are the figures:

As a percentage:
