This article is an ambitious attempt to generalise the daily conduct of life as lived by nearly 8 billion people the world over. As Wikipedia states above, "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable through citations to reliable sources." With this in mind, material and statistics published by international organisations like the UN, UNESCO, WFO and WHO could provide suitable reference material to integrate, and to substantiate the article's many conjectures and generalisations, e.g.
The article reflects an overwhelmingly Western, developed-world bias from the very beginning (see above). Perhaps worth reconsidering the informative value of the broader generalisations, such as "lifestyles vary and different people spend their days differently". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyatte61 ( talk • contribs) 12:45, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't merge this article with the article for "personal life"!
"Everyday life" is a specific notion of the quotidian that has been *very* important to various historians, social scientists, and philosophers. It's essential to understanding certain social historians, the situationists, Henri Lefebvre...
It would be a disservice to all to merge the two. 129.174.73.95 23:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)tad
I've recently done quite a bit of work on Personal life and feel it was a mistake to merge it with Daily life and Everyday life. I believe the German article Alltag coverns the Everyday life concept very well. Any chance of working further on this???- Ipigott ( talk) 17:06, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Is this a signpost article? Should we list common elements of every day life? How about life in one country/region compared to another? Or one gender to another? Is this article also somewhat about identity? What can we find out about "Daily life's sociology", which is mentioned in the lede? Looking at the already cited sources, and the further reading section, this looks like a technical sociological approach might be most suitable. -- Nick Penguin( contribs) 03:43, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
I agree that this is a signpost article of sorts. From a sociological perspective, I think we can make many connections to other concepts, and to other disciplinary perspectives (such as Freud being more psych than soc). I do think that social norms/control/deviance should be connected, and that more diverse ideas of everyday life that contrast this Western/Global North-leaning perspective with other perspectives (e.g. Central and Northern African, Central and Southern American, Eastern European, Caribbean, Southeast Asian, and so on). I will be working on this with a small group of students this semester and welcome input from others.

What about just using pictures of generic crowds, I don't like the look of the current series of images. Half Hat 22:35, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
