I work (4x10 with 30 minute commute), go to the gym 3 days a week, cook healthy meals, maintain relationships with a handful of people, and get 6-7 hours of sleep.
I think it’s all about priorities and as another guy said here at least a rough schedule/routine.
My hobby is being active (drumming multiple hours per day), then you can save the gym (I do some climbing now and then though). Commuting with bicycle to work also helps, work less (I do 25h/week which is max for me, I rather spend less money and live in a community than having to work more to finance myself, life does have too much interesting to offer than to spend all your time with working).
I also like to eat stuff like Huel (the savory stuff) which saves me time of cooking/buying groceries (and I have a rather high protein intake which is good for drumming, as fast/strong muscles/tendons are quite important (and it noticebly helps with growing muscles, I didn’t want to believe until then how important high-protein intake is when being active)).
I basically don’t play any video games (ironically I’m quickly bored), do some open source programming instead (so side-projects?), try to avoid “wasting” time on e.g. social media.
So, I knew people who do all those things. Work long days, go to the gym, have their hobbies… What they also did is:
- have aspouse who does all their chores
- Never do anything with said spouse
- Wonder why their second marriage is failing
Although a lot of them also claimed to only need 5 hours of sleep.
That grindset “I only need x hours” is horseshit, everyone who does this thinks they’re some kind of rare genetic anomaly when in reality they’ve simply gotten used to being sleep-deprived all the time
My ex is one who claimed she only needed a five hour sleep and yet she still slept on eight to nine hour nights all the time. She always laughed when I said I have sleep problems and I need seven hours of sleep. She is ex for reason.
As someone who is used to sleep-deprivation, I can second that.
168 hours in a week
Minus 56 for sleep is 112
Minus 40 hour work week is 72
Minus half hour commute 5 days a week is 67
67
Minus 65 hours doomscrolling in bed is 2
How tf am I supposed to have hobbies and health with only 2 hours of free time every week?
You actually don’t have those 2 hours left. It’s a half hour commute 1 way. Meaning an hour a day for 5 days not 30 mins for 5 days. Looks like you may need to cutt out 30 mins of doomscrolling.Nm. You did the math right, I just read it wrong without checking your working.
So, no laundry, eating, bathing, shitting, anything like that? What’s your secret?
(In fairness shitting can be combined with either the 40hrs/work if you’re smart, or with the 56hr/sleep if you’re not, but then the no bathing or laundry becomes a bigger issue…)
He works at a water park so both are combined with the 40hrs/work
Winter must be ROUGH.
spend less on candles
“no”
Yes, but as you age you don’t need as much socializing and you have established good friendships so you can jump right in.
But I do track everything for fun (like a diary). Last Sunday to Saturday i reached:At 7hrs 4min of excercise last week, 45.3 hrs sleep, 1260 grams of protein, 7 pieces of nicotine gum, 28oz of whiskey (4oz/day), etc…
Highlights: Had a pr at the gym, squatted 410lbs. Baddthings: Had gym fail at ju jitsu, spit my mouth guard onto my bros face. Sorry C! Also argued w my sister over text
I’ve since made up w my sister. That is all
and you have established good friendships so you can jump right in.
Think again! An opioid epidemic has hit your town, all your friends OD’d or moved to attempt getting clean, or the one who moved for school. The one that’s left is moving 5hr away for a girl he met 6mo ago. You’re also a male in an age bracket known for having a hard time making meaningful connections, superficial ones come and go like the tides.
What do I win, and can I return it for store credit?
A victim card and being ignored. You can be the victim or the victor, not both
