Arbeitsalltag vs Alltag

everyday life

'der Alltag' and 'der Arbeitsalltag' both refer to recurring routines and typical processes. 'der Alltag' is more general and covers all of normal life: living, family, shopping, free time, and also work. 'der Arbeitsalltag' is only everyday life at work. The words can be confused because work is often a large part of everyday life. When it is about life as a whole, you say 'Alltag'. When it is specifically about tasks, appointments, and experiences in a job, 'Arbeitsalltag' fits better.
