An attempt made in the paper is to look at everydayness from the empirical perspective on the basis of Alfred Schutz's conceptualizations of ordinary reality - in accordance to how it is practiced. The consequence of this empirical view is a reconceptualization of the notion of everydayness - everydayness is now considered not as an attribute of the ordinary lifeworld as a «finite province of meaning», but as a formal feature of every social practice, which, in turn, requires a change in research attitude.
