I guess you can but you won't have time for personal relationships or a family I guess. Gotta be quite focused.

OP where did you share this image from? Curious to know which app generates images with this much whitespace all the time. It's starting to become very annoying for some inexplicable reason.

Wfh means I have more tim. Gym equipment at home means more convenience. So I can usually manage fitness and work plus healthy meals every day. Joined a book club so I read more and that meets online so it's very convenient too.

I don't do side projects and I got permission to use time in work to do learning, but it's really hard to save that time as there's always someone important to do in work.

Having kids means all this stuff at home doesn't require a babysitter, which would fuck it all up sometimes.

So definitely not doing everything I could or i want, keep evening time as unscheduled as I can cause I need that freedom. I also recognize that different life stages come with different challenges and opportunities.

It’s possible for me but my workouts are short and I do them at home since I have some weights. Also since I work nights, my weekdays I don’t really see my kids since they’re at school so I have a lot of free time available during the day for hobbies. If I worked days it would be impossible.

Me.

Yeah.

There are 168 hours in a week.

I sleep about 7.5 hours, but am usually in bed for 8 hours. Let's just call that 56 hours.

I work about 45 hours per week. My commute takes me about 15 minutes each way, so that's a minimum of 2.5 hours per week of biking (this also serves as light cardio). More realistically, I do about half the pickups and dropoffs for my school age kids, so each one of those adds about 45 minutes, so that's another 3.75 hours. That's a total of 50.25 hours on work stuff.

I sneak in about 3 or 4 workouts per week during my lunch break, adding about an hour to each workday that I do that. On days I don't work out, I might run errands or eat lunch with friends. So let's just call that 5.

Let's add 7 hours to our morning routines, where I generally have to wake up an hour before actually leaving the home. And another 7 hours for my kids bedtime routines.

That leaves just under 43 hours per week of everything else. I'm generally able to fit in social activities like meeting up with friends two or three times per week (10 hours), cooking and meal prep (10 hours, may overlap with social activities like when I'm hosting a BBQ), miscellaneous chores (5 hours), a decent chunk of TV, movies, or reading (10-20 hours per week depending on what sports season it is), other kid activities (10-20 hours per week, may overlap with other social activities).

So the ordinary workweeks are a bit tight but doable. Vacation/holiday weeks tend to give a bit more time, but also tend to add on the parenting responsibilities.

And if I'm feeling time pressure, there's always places to get a bit more time: outsourcing some of the cooking and cleaning (not necessarily by hiring someone to come to the home but simply by eating out so that someone else cooks and washes dishes).

Not possible while working 40hrs+ a week

If only there were more than one day a week…. Le sigh.

Working double shifts for that sweet sweet high deductible health plan or an hour per day at planet fitness, so hard to decide

No time to sleep, gotta cram in some of those "extracurricular activities" to prove to future employers that I will do work for free.

I used to work from home and lived close enough to gym, I could go at lunch. That was the best.

Then, I had to walk the dogs. No time for the gym anymore but still lots of exercise.

Now I live in an area far from a gym and it’s dangerous to walk the dogs. We play in the yard a lot, but I’m not getting exercise I need.

It’s totally doable if you have the right job, and live in the right place.

If you have kids or other obligations, it’s just not. There isn’t enough time in a day.
