The daily activities of ≈8 billion people occupy exactly 24 h per day, placing a strict physical limit on what changes can be achieved in the world.

- Time use studies measure how people allocate their time, revealing important societal and economic insights, but often lack standardized methods for categorization.
- The proposed human chronome approach aims to create a more cohesive framework by using multiple, coherent lexicons that enhance clarity and reduce ambiguity in categorizing time use activities.
- The new Motivating-Outcome-Oriented General Activity Lexicon (MOOGAL) addresses these issues by focusing on the physical outcomes of diverse activities, demonstrating its effectiveness in providing a comprehensive and less ambiguous analysis of time use across various populations.
