I can easily see that kids will eat your time like crazy, but otherwise? I have 5-6 hours of free time a day during the week, 8hrs of work, 8hrs of sleep (including the 30-60m it takes me to fall asleep), 30m lunch break, 2x25m commute. Like 5 mins spent making food in the evening (either just bread in which case it’s even less, or just something quick like noodles. 10-15 mins if I feel like making the sauce myself). Eating is semi-free time since I’ll usually watch something during. 5 mins of shopping on the way home every 2 days or so. 10 mins or so for brushing teeth in total since i tend to space out during. 1min quick shower that doesn’t touch my hair. 1-2 mins brushing hair. Once or twice a week 20-30min shower including washing and drying hair to be dry enough. Take out trash like once a week takes 5 mins max.
There are some things where I save time by using money (vacuum robot, eating out for lunch, grabbing food from the bakery when I’m too hungry to skip breakfast like I usually do), but that wouldn’t even add up to an hour a day.
I still think everyone should work less because imo it’s very possible to do without leading to deficits in anyones life. But like wtf are people doing.
