I disagree and actively disprove of this. I have four hours at home. Hour1: Eating / TV / Hanging out with wife Hour2: Development, studying, cultivating Hour3: Gym Hour4: Relax, mental health, maybe some more development While I agree that my progress is significantly larger on the weekends, the five hours from the weekdays gives me a good amount. Keep in mind too, this is about side projects, creative ideas. Not about "starting a business" or some startup venture

do your wife and you work different schedules? You only spend 1 hour a weekday with your wife? and spend more time working on the weekend?

  We go to the gym together and spend a lot of time in hour 4 together. The first hour is just exclusively for us. Often she will visit me while I am coding and I (typically) don't mind :) Per weekend day, I normally find four~five hours of development time and the rest I typically spend with her. It's also worth noting that this schedule isn't law, there are days were I don't develop or go to the gym to hang out with my wife more

I'm insanely curious how can you spend an hour at gym. Showering alone takes 30 mins. There is also time commuting to and from gym. Do you work out for only 20 mins and is insanely efficient doing this task? Most people work out ~1 to 1.5 hours and combined with inefficiencies, commute and showering it's a 2 hour commitment.

  a Starting-Strength or Greyskull LP program only takes about 30-45 mins. Faster if you've been doing it for years...

  I have a gym in my apartment, so typically a 45min workout and a 15 min shower

  30 minute showers are a waste of water. What are you doing in there? It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to shower unless you have 6 feet of hair that you have to wash and condition.

You seem to have zero friends.

  Plenty actually, but time is lacking. I wouldn't mind being your friend and talking about if you'd like

    OK. I live in Petaluma, CA. After rereading my comment I would like to clarify that it was not intended as an insult but rather an observation that time for friends was not on your list. Several recent studies have linked maintaining friendships with long-term health and happiness. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/friendships/art-20044860 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in... http://time.com/collection/guide-to-happiness/4809325/friends-friendship-health-family/ http://time.com/collection/guide-to-happiness/4809325/friend... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/285502780_Friendship_and_happiness_Across_the_life-span_and_cultures https://www.researchgate.net/publication/285502780_Friendshi...

      No worries :) I didn't list weekends as they are not apart of my schedule. As much as I find routines to be beneficial to me, I am not a robot and enjoy my social times and lettings things happen as they go. Also the majority of my "free hour" during the weekdays is often goofing off with my friends online. It is also worth noting that my wife is my best friend as well I'm in New York, if you ever in my neck of the woods send me a message, I'll buy you a beer

        Awesome. Used to live in Washington Heights. Same goes if you're in Petaluma.
