We keep asking why the average individuals mental health is on the decline and this is a big part of it.

Some of us have been doing this since we were children, replacing work with school. The only way you can manage all of this is by multitasking everywhere possible. You only socialize while at work or school, and all the while you're probably either working on something or you're on your phone. You clean and tidy at the same time as you cook. You speedrun your showers, a time that should be somewhat relaxing.

Even assuming you do actually get those full precious 8 hours of sleep, your brain isn't going to be rested enough.

Who's Hoover? Why do you have to do them?

Under US labor laws, it is more difficult to maintain one's sanity.

You can chose two. Any two, but only two.

I think we should get better at budgeting our work time.

It may sound daunting at first but when you want to work eight hours, first think : "can I afford this eight hours of work? Shouldn't I rather be playing Monster Hunter?" and take good habits from there.

Maybe in the beginning try working 5 or 6 hours. Don't rush it, but keep your determination.

You'll slowly begin to perceive more opportunities as you grow in focus : "Instead of working another hour for my boss, I'll write my own TTRPG setting or hit that solo queue".

It's hard at first but others made it. Why wouldn't you?

Something has to give. It’s not possible to do everything every day.

I commute to work on foot while meditating.
Buy food on the walk home, and cook it while I socialize with my hoover.
I eat in the shower with my clothes on to avoid laundry, and I get 8 hours of sleep at work.

That way I can squeeze 2 full time jobs into one day and don't need a car, so I can afford to pay rent.
