40 mins for my yoga practice!

30-35 hours a week. I fit work in around it, works well.

~ 10 rn

Maybe 1 ~ 2 hrs/day of purely leisure time, which only really happens in the late evenings after wife & kids have gone to bed, so both the length and quality of said free time depend on how long I can stay awake. A lot of times all I can muster is watching some YouTube in a half coma, but even that is relaxing in its own way tbh..

Actual leisure time, probably only Friday night after 8pm. I have 2 young kids, and any time I am not working or sleeping, I am doing something to keep them alive and healthy (e.g. cooking, doing bath and story time before bed). I barely have any time to myself (e.g. shower) without sacrificing sleep. I think having young kids really takes time for hobbies out of the picture, and work during coronavirus has been doubly intense - not a good combo.

During active cases, 2-4hrs/week at best. On the beach, depends but typical more.

30min a day

Thankfully CrossFit is my hobby. That helps since my workouts are also leisure in a sense

630 - 730 am. Wake up. Coffee. News
730-11 work
11-12 work out. Shower. Make lunch to eat at desk
12-630 work (with very short breaks to take a walk. Do laundry etc).
630 - 10. Dinner and hang with SO unless one of us is working longer that day (usually him)

But I’m super productive during day and I’ll work 4 hours on the weekend if needed. Just work better that way than working late into night

This is my stolen 3 minutes of leisure time before I transition from work to home... 😂

9am-12am work

LOL. Serious question? If I’m lucky 1 total for the week.

Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
