daily life
Ordinary waking hours
Daily life is the routine of ordinary existence—the regular activities, habits, and responsibilities that fill a person's days.
It encompasses work, meals, errands, and domestic tasks rather than exceptional events: The war disrupted daily life in the capital.
The phrase often contrasts with the extraordinary: In daily life, she was quiet and unassuming.
