I think people-in-retrospect do a *lot* more than people-day-to-day, and also that there's an objective/subjective thing going on. I think you do *loads*, and I've had people tell me how I do *loads* when what I was actually doing was staying in bed all day playing Civ. There's something very odd about perspective on this which I haven't got a handle on yet.
There's also something political. Did Mama have a three hour round trip to work *at the same time* that she was doing the gardening and baking? Did she have to go through lots of electronic menus and stay on hold for twenty minutes to find out whether something was wrong with her electricity bill? There are different demands on focus.
