You've never been to LA, huh?

At rush hour, that's basically just leaving your house. Even in NYC I know people who do an hour+ door-to-door due to awkward interborough subway connections.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

If anybody can, try and get an evening shift. I work 4 pm-12:30 am and I fukin love it: Wake up @ 8am, get to relax and enjoy my coffee and not rush, get my lifting in, eat a good breakfast, and then do whatever needs to be done for the day, then leave for work @ 3:30 pm. As soon as I get off I get to go straight to bed which is nice. I am exponentially more productive with this schedule than working a classic 9-5, which ive done.

I end up having about ~5 hours of "free time" everyday

Theres something to be said about not waking up when its still dark outside and you can actually enjoy your morning and afternoon w/o having to rush.

Yessir. There are ways to get around it. Reduce your commute as much as possible. Go to the gym every other day. Sleep less, use caffeine to be efficient

Lol at *******s thinking gym is some kind of chore. If you don't enjoy it why bother?

8:30 : wake up
9:00 - 10:00 : commute
10:00 - 18:00 : work
18:30 - 20:30 : gym
20:45 - 21:30 : commute
00:00 : bed

Just leave all your life admin to the weekend. If it takes you longer than two hours to clean your house you need to be nore efficient.

This.

Even when I did have to drive 45 minutes from and to work. I worked out in a gym 5 minutes from my house. I went early in the morning before work since traffic was horrible to work at that time. And would go home later when traffic wasn't bad. Cutting down the drive time by half.

It's all about adjusting the time budget. Important life tools schools have stopped teaching kids since Obama became president.

But yea. It's nice having a woman at home taking care of the little things like cleaning and bills.

I work from home for a consulting firm. Pay is great and the commute is walking down the stairs after waking up. During lunch I go to the gym. It's GOAT - pretty empty and can finish workout within hour (not that they count how long I'm gone...)

Love it.

Also not sure how you have 1hr of chores every day

Typical day for me:

-wake at 6
-into work by 8
-hour lunch, walk my dog
-off at 5
-gym after work, done by 6:30
-home by 7
-chill and kick it until 11/midnight.
not sheriff serious on bold....man I could easily do 1 hr of chores every night, not that I do 1 hr every night but man I live with a couple of slobs

But yes 2 hours of gym time is a bit much.

4:30 AM Alarm goes off, i make coffee or have a cup waiting for me as I remembered to set the timer the night before
4:45-5:00:I've finally made it to my car, off to the gym
6:00-6:20 leaving gym
6:30 Breffast / getting food together for lunch
6:45-7:20: shower, makeup, dress
7:30: In car again
8:00 Get to work
12:00 lunch, escape to my car to not associate with coworkers and eat a depressing meal prep
1-5: work or some ****
5-6 : drive home
6:30: Toddler time/ washing dishes/ eating another meal prep
7:00 shower and stuff , some more kid time...some phone time
7:00 -9:00 chores, if I"m taking classes homework, now this time is used to take care of my grandma
9:00-10: 00 try and sleep

life kinda sucks balls right now

why are you in the gym for 2 hours? 45 minutes every work out I execute my plan with proper resting and no talking, browsing phone unacceptable to be in the gym for 2 hours unless your training to be a bodybuilder or some kind of athelete.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

Did that for a few years.

Right now i'm out of the house for work about 7 hours including commute, work out about 45 min in my garage, avg 30 mins housework, spend about 8 hours in bed and about 45 mins per day to shower/chit/bathroom so I have normally 7 hours of free time on weekdays.

Doing it right in order of free time quantity... Failing at quality....

It might be fun to play CoD or World of Warcraft 16 hours a day (or whatever the fuk you want to do with all that spare time) but it will grow old pretty quick and you will not grow as a person.

Working gives you mental stimulation, challenges and forces you to grow - it increases your self-esteem and feelings of self-worth in the process also.
Nobody is programmed to toil for currency because it isn't a naturally occurring, biologically-necessary object. People slave away for 10-15 hours per day because of useful idiots, such as yourself, who go along with the concept to obtain imaginary "status." It is a behavior that is invasively ingrained within us beginning at Kindergarten. Expending all of our energy reserves at places of employment actually robs us of our ability to grow as people. Instead of wasting our lives in servitude to greedy corporations, we should be maximizing our time reading, exercising and assisting our fellow man. All three activities I just listed provide far more effective mental stimulation than mindlessly performing menial tasks in a work environment. Look at the responses ITT. Everybody is miserable as a result of being bogged down with labor. Hardly conductive to self-esteem.
