The Private Life of an Elizabethan Lady: The Diary of Lady Margaret Hoby 1599-1605 is a great source for daily activities. Lady Hoby was the wife of Sir Thomas Posthumous Hoby, lived in Yorkshire, and had no children. The Hobys were quite devout Protestants (the editor calls them Puritans) -- Lady Hoby tries to covert a "papest maide" and Sir Thomas searched houses for hidden Catholics.

Lady Hoby was primarily keeping a record of her religious devotions, but occasionally amongst the records of prayers, public and private, lectures heard, texts read, and visits to church, other details of her life emerge.

These are some of the other things she did with her days:

Played bowls
Fished
Read to her ladies and was read to
Paid the bills
"Wrought" -- some kind of needlework, hard to tell if it's utilitarian or fancy, but she did it a lot
Went for walks
Ordered the meals
Worked in the kitchen
Visted her mother
Tended the ill and injured, also women in childbed
Preserved quinces, damsons, and "sweet meats"
