[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT quit.

If you are making really good money, then outsource as much as you can: grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry service. If you want home cooked food, find a local home chef that will deliver meals to you on a weekly basis. When you do takeout or restaurant food, make better choices.

Pick the couple of leisure activities that mean the most to you, and make time for those. Be sure to get out into nature regularly. Become more efficient about your downtime. Less scrolling, less puttering around doing nothing.

Being a working adult is hard. If you want to make money and build a successful career, you have to pay your dues with longer hours and less fun. This is a phase in life. Build success and you will be able to get jobs with better work-life balance while still getting paid well. [/quote]

Most adults who do "really well in life" work more than 8 hour days.  As you move up in management/get to the C suite, you often work 10-12 hour days, many times your evenings or weekends are interrupted with work issues that you have to address.  And with global companies, it is sometimes even worse---half your team could be 8-10 hours different time zone, and you have to help support them if major issues happen.
