The closest I came to cracking this was buying a used treadmill, a steam deck, and some third party joycons that were a little more ergonomic. Play games while walking. Lost 20lbs playing BG3 and another 10 beating Hades. Then life happened and that routine fell apart. But it worked pretty well. Just need to get back into it. Obviously not feasible for many due to the initial expensive or space requirements.
For me, the math here ain't mathing. Work + commute + lunch = only 9 hours? Nah bro. I don't live at work. Stuffing your face in 15min is bad enough.
Don't anglos count lunch break as work? "Working 9 to 5" is just 8 hours, so either you skip lunch or you count it as work time.
Around here we don't, and my job for example has a mandatory 1-hour lunch break, so 9 hours are all taken up from clock-in to clock-out, nevermind commute.
I've never had a 9-to-5 that was actually 9 to 5. It always starts at 7:30 or 8.
Personally, I manage to do so only because I genuinely can't afford the life and fun.
I'm doing all of those things but not actually having any fun....
With a kid and full time job (home office though), I would need to reduce sleep to get any time for side projects, gym or hobbies. I am not sure it would be wise.
With a kid, your most enjoyable hobby would be getting a good night's sleep. If you ever got to do it.
Kinda, but only because I have 0 commute (job that allows to wfh as much as I want), I don't care about fitness all that much at the moment (I go to the gym maybe twice a week for 1.5h each, followed by like an hour in the sauna every time) and because my side project is also my hobby. I also don't like socializing with anyone but my partner, so it's all quite efficient.
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.
Absolutely possible. I'm quite happy.
Married and have a 6 year old. I lift 4 hours a week, do probably 50 or so miles on the peleton, game probably 10 hours a week, and I get to race my cars probably 5 times a year.
In bed by 8 or 9, up at 5 or 6. I have my stressful moments but overall it's good.
I guess you can but you won't have time for personal relationships or a family I guess. Gotta be quite focused.
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.
I did.
Work + commute + lunch 9 hours. Sleep 8 hours.
Work out about one hour lifting weights or grocery store + meal prep on rest days.
1 hours spent on breakfast, shower, dinner etc.
Total 19 hours which left me with 5 for hobbies on weekdays. Laundry, cleaning, etc was done an hour or two on Saturday.
If only there were more than one day a week…. Le sigh.
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.
You'll for sure have to roll up those categories a bit. You will not have time for Fitness, work, side projects, life, fun, and hobbies - if considered as separate, non-overlapping things that you have to have each day. But how about each week I: Work out a total of 4 hours, have at least two evenings spending time with friends doing something I enjoy, and commit a total of 4 hours on a hobby, side-project, or other solo recreational or artistic activity I enjoy. Work, rest, and family will naturally take up the rest of the time. This doesn't sound so unrealistic to me, or like some crazy hustler grind-set that only the most driven could accomplish.
One thing that helps me is making sure the fun thing I'm doing 2/5 things at once. Fun and Excercise is skiing. (I'm having issues finding a off-season activity. I'm getting too old for my old standby Judo. It's just not fun anymore, too much of me aches for days.)
My side project and life thing is spending time with my kid converting a Motorola Razr 40 Ultra into a slider physical keyboard phone. I have to buy a new cable for it, we broke it. But we learned things.
My job is a pretty sweet gig, and so I can spend down time reading and playing games. I beat Silksong at work. I read all of discworld and cosmere at work.
