I try having a work routine and life routine during this wfh, and during the down time... it was all dandy, but with busy times... I’m in a rut. Can barely exercise and so disfunctional during work. How do I get into a routine that can be effective even when everything is chaotic?

Feels like there’s never enough time to do anything. After work, it’s so hard to find motivation.

I try to do whatever small amount I can just to say I did it that day. Study that language for 15 minutes, read 5 pages, do twenty pushups. Just doing something every day is better than skipping and waiting for the one day where you’re totally free.

Set up certain time of the day as your exercise/personal time. Block off your calendar during those times so people cant request a meeting with you. And man up and exercise!
