[quote=Anonymous]I can’t necessarily relate to OP’s exact breakdown of hours spent. But I do feel like a 40 hour per week job makes it difficult to do all the things I want for my health: time for long walks, healthy meal prep, medical appointments, etc. Not to mention the mental stress of trying to keep up with everything.

It’s why I have a flexible remote job. Even still it feels like a lot (I also have 3 kids and a DH who works full time). We have to outsource some things like cleaning. I wish I had more time for a hobby or volunteering at the school. I sometimes feel resentful that we as a society have picked 40 as the totally random a$$, arbitrary number for a work week. It’s not like there is any science to support this is an optimal productivity timeframe. And since employers would try to squeeze every oz of work out of us as possible, we can’t really rely on them to cut hours. I don’t know what the answer is, but I feel a societal shift coming in how people expect to balance work/life. [/quote]
