Life is full of so much bulls--t that gobbles up our time. Example from my schedule:
Average Daily Time Needed, Hours / Running Balance
- 24 hour day...less:
- Sleep: 6-8 / 16-18
- Commute: 2 / 14-16
- Work: 8 / 6-8
- Showering, ironing, etc: 0.5 / 5.5-7.5
- Errands (3 hours/week = 0.4 hours/day) / 5.1-7.1
- Chores (yard work, cooking, etc); (9 hours/week = 1.3 hour/day) / 3.8-5.8
- Exercise: 0.5 / 3.3 - 5.3
- Miscellaneous distractions (repairs, telemarketers, etc): 0.5 / 2.8-4.8 balance
That's it. Conservatively speaking, on average, I (by extension, most western humans) have around 3-5 hours each day to live...to enjoy, to watch television, to create, to play with our kids, go to the beach, go on a date, to read, or study. What a joke. The Industrial Revolution and technology were supposed to have freed up more time for us and to usher us into the Age of Aquarius, the New Man, et cetera. I don't see it. We are just gerbils spinning around a wheel most of the time, with barely enough time to live beyond the daily grind. Sad.
I hear ya, bro
