not me. I started to priotize down time where I just don't do anything. I was trying to keep up with all that stuff and it was draining me. of course, working too much was a huge factor (even 8 extra hours in a week is 8 fewer hours for hobbies, plus the impact of the extra mental drain, there's like a time efficiency hit too)

I can keep up with work and like three other things nowadays while getting enough sleep and down time. I just rotate which things week to week. sometimes it's video games, woodworking, gardening, reading, other hobby stuff, home projects, etc. obviously there are weeks where I do more, but that's not the average. and the minimum is two. rec sports keep me engaged with people and getting out of the house regularly instead of "oh it's been rainy for four days and I haven't needed to buy anything so I haven't been outside much in the past 100 hours because I couldn't go for a bike ride"

oh and I don't have kids, just dogs.

not me lmao

I do all of those things! Not all in one day of course, I spread it out over an entire week.

I kinda im!

Wake up @ 8am, start work at 8.15am, work till 17.

Then 1h to 4h of sports (either gym, rope climbing or bouldering), 5 times a week

At that point is 18.30/20, got a solid few hours for hobbies/friends/chill.

As you might have notice I don't cook, and commutes are short when climbing ca. 40 mins biking away, work is at home or if I go to the office I go in my lunch hour (20mins commute), gym is 3mins away and bouldering is 10mins biking

Also, no kids.

I sleep every day at ca. 11.30. Get solid 8h in bed, but only around 7h of sleep sadly. Trying to make it 8!

Kind of. But I mostly only get to do hobbies on weekends and don't always get my full 8 hours

It absolutely is possible, but you have to be completely honest with yourself and have some discipline. If sitting on the couch and doing nothing is important too you, then you literally have to plan time to sit on the couch and do nothing.

Everything you can possibly do, including doing nothing, because doing nothing is doing something, has to be categorized into important/not important and urgent/not urgent.

Any thing not important and not urgent should be completely eliminated from your life:

Most of us say we don't have time anymore because we miss the aimless free time of our youth. But that time is gone...
