Urgh, social people. Hate those sexy bastards
I sit in a cave all day wrapped in a cloak cursing the light, i married my opposite
Doing cardio regularly immensely increased my surplus energy.
Now I'm back to sitting on my ass though
wait until you try to start a business on top
the easiest part would then be to cut everything off, maybe everyone off too

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.
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.
Me.
Working double shifts for that sweet sweet high deductible health plan or an hour per day at planet fitness, so hard to decide
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.
If only there were more than one day a week…. Le sigh.
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.
No time to sleep, gotta cram in some of those "extracurricular activities" to prove to future employers that I will do work for free.
