Harnessing life-course transitions to optimise time-use behaviour habits

在人生的每一个阶段，我们如何利用时间是我们幸福、生产力、社会福利和生活质量的最大决定因素之一。时间使用习惯，不管是好是坏，在日常生活中根深蒂固，很难打破。该项目旨在利用现有的人口数据集来确定人们一生中何时最有可能改变其时间使用习惯，并描述谁可能最有可能做出不利的改变（例如，用久坐不动的时间代替体力活动，睡眠不足）。预期成果包括了解时间使用习惯的新分析方法和为今后改进时间使用战略提供信息的新知识，使澳大利亚人能够过上最好的生活。

At every stage of life, how we use our time is one of the greatest determinants of our happiness, productivity, social wellbeing and quality of life. Time-use habits, for better or worse, are entrenched in daily routines that are difficult to break. This project aims to use existing population datasets to identify when during their life people are most likely to change their time-use habits, and to describe who may be at greatest risk of making unfavourable changes (e.g., replacing physical activity with sedentary time, not getting enough sleep). Expected outcomes include new analytical methods to understand time-use routines and new knowledge to inform future time-use improvement strategies to enable Australians to live their best life.
