What? A day in the life of heaven and/or hell, complete with tourist maps and geographical compendium?
I thought a little dude named Dante covered that in Divina Comedia. Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.
As for my own outlooks, please bear in mind there's technically no "life". This is the "afterlife", so trying to fit what happens there in terms of the living world may be bit of a stretch akin to trying to swallow a bit much more than what the jaws can admit.
Then again, I have a vested interest in researching and speculating upon such matters myself. I have this two-book concept going on where the day-to-day dealings between the heavens and the hells are detailed in the second bookâ a take-off on The Divine Comedy in the sense that a soldier of the heavens embarks on an unauthorized rescue mission into the hells.
First book's actually a bit of a time-travel adventure with a guy traveling from 1999 to sometime in the 1880's or 1890's (have to find out when Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show ever made appearance in England, since said hero needs access to stuff a mite deadlier than these "...$%#ty British guns...").

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
