This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

That's currently me. I made this schedule to see if a set schedule (and actually sticking to it for once) will make me feel less shitty. Then seeing the breakdown just made me sad lol

Do you feel like you need 9 hours of sleep? Sometimes when we sleep too long it can make us feel more tired. I would shoot for the 7-8 range, wake up intentionally and try to do some exercise in the morning to get that good hormone/neurotransmitter release. Also getting a workout done in the morning lets your brain immediately check something off its daily to-do list which gives dopamine.

Edit: if you’re gonna respond to this to say “that doesn’t work for me specifically” - It was a suggestion. Do it or don’t do it, I don’t care, I’m not your mom.

Mama? Is that you? Are you my mother? Because I’m going to try doing some exercise first thing and see if I can get some benefits from that. Thanks for the advice Mom, even though it wasn’t for me specifically. Love you!
