Split the house chores between a partner, meme and doom scroll social media while at work, exercise at home or nearby. Don’t have the energy to keep in contact with most people all that often though. Get what sleep I can.
And always always always poop at work
But work doesn’t have a bidet and has sand paper to wipe with.
Who says people do? My house is clean and I spend a lot of time with my friends. But I still don’t have the time to work out and I haven’t worked for 4 months.
When I was in my last relationship, it was always a struggle between spending time together or going to the gym.
Easy just cut out exercising, cleaning and sleep ymmv
You don’t have to do all these things. Just pretend on social media that you do.
It’s simple, I’m not.
I think most people don’t. I live in a small house with my wife, no kids, and even that gets overwhelming somehow. Some days are just lost to work, cleaning, and maintenance.
We do aim to have at least a couple of days a week where we don’t have to do anything at all. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, it doesnt take long for burnout to set in.
We don’t. For a couple of years I am working in organizing my life much better, but it is still not possible to do everything.
I exercise at work during lunch. It’s really hard to get motivated every single time, but always worth it.
Cook with the kids as soon as we get home. Multitasking is actually good decompression for me.
Have to shower before bed or I can’t sleep.
Cleaning the house is a constant unfulfilling battle that I haven’t figures out yet.
Friends visit often, but also disc golf has been a great way to goof off in the woods regularly.
I do all those things on my own. I make a list of tasks I need to do every day or so and I cross them off as I complete them. Lift weights 4 times a week. Prepare meals on the off days and eat the leftovers on workout days. Groceries, laundry, clean, on the weekends. When everything’s done or I have downtime in between tasks I play video games or whatever sounds fun. Go to bed at 10, read for an hour or so, sleep until 5-7am and do it all again. I talk to my friends on discord and in our group chat throughout the day and every week or two we get together at a bar or someones house. Overall pretty manageable other than when my job stresses me out so bad my mental health goes to shit but that’s only a day or two every few weeks.
That’s the neat part, I don’t!
Yeah the secret is not staying on top of all of these at once but finding a good balance
I lost my job a few months ago and so I’ve had an inordinate amount of free time and it made me realize the same thing. Even with essentially infinite time I can’t get everything that needs to be done, done.
“Things that need to be done” is a gas-state that grows to fill the volume of time that you have.
High pressure gas state
Your time may be endless but your fatigue level won’t care.

Wait if I assume you are Americans, do you have limited work hours per day over there?
Yes and no. Depends wildly based on industry, job type, and income level. Generally we stick to a 40-hour a week at your place of work, unless you’re a wage earner (which could be much more or less). That said, it doesn’t always work that way.
The worst case is a suburban or rural lifestyle that is one hour (or more!) from the office, where logistics (e.g. groceries, auto maintenance, healthcare) and friends are almost as far away from home. That adds up to a ton of time in transit, with a handful of hours to yourself each working day for the rest, if you want to sleep a healthy amount. Then you add kids, daycare, after-school activities, and there’s literally no free time left.
You people can’t do anything
I can post.
bet yeah, thats kind of it.Are you just learning what executive dysfunction is?
Not who you replied to but I never knew that term. I haven’t bothered to read up much on ADHD oddly (over the years) but once I realized I had it the medication helped immensely. Mean I did read a bit but that was like 15 years ago and all now.
Least this area helps me understand that much of my usual stuff may be from ADHD and all. Like sometimes I read stuff and go huh I didn’t think that may be why. Mean probably not always but still it helps knowing similar people have those issues.
I’m on this subreddit after all
Fuck them normies! One task per day only gang for life!
Most people don’t. Social media makes it seem like they do, but most people’s lives are at least somewhat messy.
