Quick maths
🇲🇮🇸🇨8 hours work, 8 hours sleep, and you’ve still got 10 hours to not learn math until you’re 2 hours into tomorrow!
More like 8.5 hours of work that you only get paid 8 hours for since lunch is unpaid. Add 1 hour of commute if you are in the office. 8 hours of sleep. Meaning we are starting with only actually about 5.5 hours of "free time" per work day. Morning routine is an hour for most people (waking, shower, eat, coffee, get dressed). Evening cooking and eating dinner can easily be an hour. Now we are down to 3.5 hours for all of your house responsibilities, working out, and leisure. Work out at home and keep up on housework every day both of those might take you an hour total.
So really... spend about 21.5 hours a day, on average, on just general upkeep for existing and that then gives you 2.5 hours a day for yourself and then maybe a good 16 hours on the weekend if you're lucky and don't work a 2nd job or have other obligations. Life made more sense when you had a homemaker who was able to take care of a lot of this stuff leaving both people with more time to enjoy themselves in the evenings. However, since you NEED more than one salary to afford rent in most populated places in the US, that work now has to be done in the evening and even if you share the burden you are WAY worse off than before.
This is why people are arguing for shorter work weeks. The gold standard of living in our country where a single income could provide for a family of 4 or more has been eroded for the last 30 years. During that same time, corporate profits and worker productivity skyrocketed at similar rates due to advancements in technology. We will never get back to a single family income again without something short of a revolution and most people understand this and accept it (whether they should or not is a different conversation). What most people want is to carve back some of their day back for themselves instead of spending most of it just, existing for existence's sake. People don't have the time to enrich themselves doing things that they love doing and instead are forced to spend most of their days doing everything they can just to get by. 30 years of profits and technical advancement was used exclusively to pad corporate profits while the workers have benefited little, or in many cases, have had to work MORE today than they had to in the past. This is not a sign of progress. We are regressing. The wealth gap is dragging us back into the feudal ages where instead of lords, we have corporations who own everything and we have to become indentured servants to these corporations so we can afford to rent the stuff we need from them to survive. It's just been obfuscated behind walls of red tape and paperwork. But the truth is... all of it can be traced to a tiny portion of the US population. Just a few hundred people who own the vast majority of companies and land. A hydra of sorts, with hundreds of heads which is immune to the guillotine.
What Americans are asking for today... is such a small amount compared to what our corporate owners have collected in the last 30 years. 10 hours a week back in our lives would give us just a portion of what we lost as a society in America in the last 30 years. And most studies done on the subject show that in worst case, productivity stays the SAME in many fields. Best case, studies have seen and increase of work done in 30 hours than what was being done in 40. We have become so efficient at our jobs that many jobs can't even fill 40 hours of week of things to do. I imagine lots of it is wasted in do nothing meetings every week where we could all be doing something far more productive in our personal lives.
Honestly this problem isn’t that old of one either. We have songs like Cats in the Cradle that show how hard life has been for Americans being exploited by the capitalist machine. It’s a meat grinder that a few people have managed to saddle.
It's just a shame half of them are too stupid to notice
Tbf only below average people wouldn’t notice
I don't want to paint the past as being perfect and we still had many problems. Exploitation of the work force is as old as time itself but it was usually relegated to low income workers. I think the difference now is that everyone is being exploited now. White collar, blue collar, low income, middle income, high income. And worse still is many people don't think they are being exploited. You can see it in this thread and replies to my comment. People who think that anyone asking for more or for better are "entitled." While not realizing that likely even they are being exploited by their job.
And that's based on a reasonable 8hr workday with a short commute. There are people working split shifts that are still commuting, which ends up doubling the daily commute time. There are those working 10 to 12 hour shifts, not to mention longer commutes. We really have a "live to work" culture and I think a "work to live" mentality should be the rule rather than the exception. Employees are people, and should be fully entitled to having a personal life outside of work, but that is becoming increasingly difficult for the average person.
I’m copying this to send to anyone automatically who tries to gaslight me into thinking things are better than ever if you just quit complaining! It doesn’t matter how that compares to third world living, it doesn’t matter if we have eVeRYthIng aT ouR FingErTIps, if we can order anything in and have it so much easier than previous generations.
The most basic and sacred human right is time. Time for yourself. Time to live, to be creative, to travel, to bond with people, to explore art and our inner lives, to have fucking fun while we’re still alive. The modern work paradigm absolutely forbids this and that is never going to be okay
thats why i take 1hr lunch breaks to counteract the 30 mins unpaid
Thank you!
History has shown us violence is the only thing that’ll change anything. Bitching about it is fine, but they don’t respect us and think them selfs smarter. From now till the end of time we can ask for better lives but we won’t get them. Until people are at the point of armed reform nothing is going to change.
This is supposed to be why we have democracy. It is to have an avenue of reason so that things never get bad enough to require violent revolution. However, in the US and many places with democracy, it has been hijacked. Regulatory capture has always been a problem with democracy however I believe we hit a point where our entire government has been effectively hijacked by corporate interests to the point where democracy has broken down.
And that's lucky if you can even get to sleep.
I'm a highly wound and anxious person. It takes me hours after a long day to get settled enough to fall asleep, even if I'm extremely tired.
Don't forget travelling
You clearly are missing the point this is maths for your boss, a leech on society, as they don’t work on a schedule. Their work isn’t connected to being productive so it doesn’t matter when it happens. So the concept of ‘24 hrs in a day’ doesn’t register, they in lala land doing manipulative things to society.
Perfect, 2 hours for commuting and cooking
2 hours commuting. Perfect. Who needs sleep anyway. /s
What? That wasn't the point...
Exactly so in capitalist lalala land 8+8=14
If you’re in the East Coast, you will have three more hours to account for the West Coast.
A part from the sketchy math, you also clearly need to teleport to work, not get ready for it, do 0 overtime, do no house chores, not consider the lunch break that is still time and then there is also the tiny matter that in the usually the spare time you have, if any, is a few (2-3 hours) in the evening when you are at your lowest energy and are much less likely to spend it in something productive (or even just enjoyable).
Thats when you realize you are late for work
8+8 is 16 dude. So you have 8 hours left. There are 24 hours in a day.
Listen to all the dorks in the comments who do less than 26 hours in a day
26? We do 30 hour days. 10 hours for sleep 10 hours for work and 12 hours for play.
I learn language!
When I do it they call it speaking in tongues. Sometimes I get a 5150 hold. But I say what I have to say.
Found my long lost sibling.
The girls love it when you speak in tongues.
Bruh got that Time-Turner schedule...
I'd sleep for 3 days straight if I had one of those
When I was a kid we had to do 10 hours 3 times a day, uphill, in the snow!
Exactly. Plus back in my day I used to have to walk 10 miles to school rain or snow. Plus both ways were uphill! Still had 10 hours to play though.
Please....you youngsters have it easy. Rare was the day when we didn't have to fend off velociraptor attacks when walking to school back in my day!
It was 15 miles uphill each way, and the constant pterodactyl night attacks were terrifying!
Pterodactyl.... pftt... luxury... We'd have been glad of a Pterodactyl or 2, if just to distract the local herd of T-Rex 🤷♂️🤣
That sounds fun. When I was a child, we had to continually keep an eye out for anomalocaris attacks.
pfft please, when I was a kid we had 20 miles up the mountain while God was fighting aliens, you ain't seen shit until you've dodged a shmalurgalurl attack. Those eat pieces of shit like anomalocaris and T-Rex for breakfast.. literally I watched them. oh the Eldritch horrors
Ya'll got it lucky. Now add up a bunch of crack fiends holding knives with their teeth and looking at you waiting for you to eye contact them. And if you did...oh boy you were not getting to school that day. And they multiplied so fast. Shit was like "the white plague" or something.
Pfff back in my day an hour was a year long and the tardigrades were on a holy crusade against the primordial amoebas. We had to squish ourselves 40 microns to the closest bacteria
That’s how we lost one of my uncles
I'll take that if that means I could buy a nice house for $15 lol
Who sleeps 8 let alone 10 hours a day I do like 6 that leaves like 20 hours for cooking after my 9 hour work day
Check out this lazyass sleeping for whole 10 hours!
This has the tone of someone who hasn't worked for 85 hours a muthafuckin day every day their life.

At my job, we use Centaurian time. It's a 37-hour day, but give it a few months. You'll get used to it, or you'll have a psychotic episode.
Yes Zed
Its only a day if you sleep. If you sleep every 48 hours youre even more productive /s
Gen Z is lazy and doesn’t hustle. They live ~24 hours in a day.
I hustle and grind every day and that’s why I put in Venus days. A day on Venus is 5,832 hours. That means i can hustle and grind at my job for 3000 hours a day, work on my side hustle for 1000 hours a day, work on my business for 1000 hours a day (I’m the CEO of hustle n grind LLC), 800 hours creeping on girls on LinkedIn with unwanted advances, 28 hours to hit the gym, and I still get 4 solid hours of sleep a day.
What’s your excuse?
I sleep in a bed with my wife.
I’m not a psycho wack-a-doodle.
That’s why I snort 5 hour energy and drink my cocaine!!!
Everyone I know who has taken Adderall has said this lol.
I do a year in a day...get on my level... Side note....there was actually a guy that said this...well believed that he does 3 days in 1
Yeah I take a nap midday and now I have 2 days per your 1 day. I got fired from my job for sleeping midday but I’m twice as productive as you now. It’s not even a competition at this point keep up 😤
I love that clip
"The twins keep us on Centaurian time, standard thirty-seven hour day. Give it a few months. You'll get used to it... or you'll have a psychotic episode."
Bunch of lazy frauds, stunt on them hoes
One hour of sleep occurs at work.
Clearly on Bajoran time
Imagine being so poor you can only afford 24 hours.
Fucking low performers
Or learn math!
Or learn this little magical thing called commutes. Nobody works for eight hours. It’s more like 10. Unless you work from home.
And getting ready, making morning coffee, contemplating going back to bed… 😜
What ? You don’t instantly teleport from your bed to work two hours before you even waked up ?
I've seriously fantasized about having this power before. Like not even fantasies about using it to do cool stuff with, just being able to teleport specifically to work and back home
Teleport would be a game changer. If I could have only one super power. It would be teleportation.
and then automobile companies will hunt you and whoever gave you that super power because it cuts into their profits
How are they gonna catch in their cars lol
It would be cool to be able to teleport to random places on your lunch break too, like oh I’m feeling like sushi for lunch let me hop over to Tokyo real quick and I’ll hop over to North Korea to fuck with Kim and come back
So have I, except for me it was mostly to get things I'd forgotten to bring to school
Nah, he does. That guy is just messing with ya.
Yep, if you count the hour and a half I spend in the morning getting up/dressed/breakfast/lunch packed/cleaned up/commute, and the hour on the back end commuting and showering and changing out of dirty clothes from my 10 hour shifts, I’m at 12.5 just for work. Add in cooking dinner and getting the kid to bed, and I’m up and moving from like 5:30am to 8pm daily on work days. That leaves me 7.5 hours to try and enjoy 30 minutes of quiet before attempting to get a full 7 hours sleep.
I honestly don’t know how other people working 10s get any time for workouts or anything if they have kids.
Life hack: Be one of those people that shows up to work and then starts eating breakfast lol
Contemplating going back to bed? More like contemplating sucking starting a shotgun
Ah you too work in the medical field.
More like…
Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition. And yawn and stretch and try to come to life… 🎶
Right with an hour lunch break And commuting it’s easily 10 hours. Then you account for the hour that you’re getting ready for work so 11, now you come home and make dinner and clean it up that’s 12. If you have kids then you have shit to do the rest of the evening and are lucky to get 5-6 hours of sleep with near 0 downtime
Depending on the kids’ age, your “sleep” might not be restful either…so more like waking up from a bad night’s sleep just to do everything over again, but more tired. So really it’s more like a 30hr day crammed into 24hrs 🤦♀️
Last night my kid woke up at 2:30 am because she couldn't breathe through a runny nose. She demanded to sleep in mummy and daddy's bed, but, wanting to let my husband sleep for once, I instead put two sofa cushions on the floor. She laid on top of me for 2 hours and didn't sleep. Somehow I convinced her to get back into her bed, but she lost her mind every time I tried to leave the room. It took her another hour to get asleep. I think. I fell asleep before her, I guess, on the floor curled up on those two, too-small cushions. I woke up a little bit later when she started coughing and crying again.
My kid just started preschool. She's going to be sick like this every few weeks for the foreseeable future.
This is my life now.
12 minutes of sexy time also
Look at Mr 12 minutes bragging here.
Includes time for teeth brushing before and crying after
That's even less math
Was just about to say same - and that most don't get paid for lunch either, so there's an hour there (or half hour depending). So not only do they suck at math, they suck at estimation, also.
Then you have chores, helping kids with homework, cooking dinner and destressing your mind after all that. It’s not like after 8 hours of work, commute and necessary chores I have the mental bandwidth I would have on my days off
My last job in California was: Wake up at 5:00, an hour to get ready, an hour in traffic, add an extra hour every goddamn day for minor bullshit, phone calls, someone has a problem, other inconveniences, getting gas, getting lunch ready if I didn't prep, etc.
So now it's 8:00 AM, I've been up three hours and most of that time was driving in traffic or trying to wake up and look presentable or sort out today's issues. Not much time for hobbies and learning new skills in that.
Get to work, sit there with your brain burning at full capacity for the next nine to ten hours because nobody else knows the Smith account better than you and your bosses really need that data for their presentation tomorrow, so yeah, you're totally fine with staying on an hour or two extra.
Ten hours later, you're crawling back through traffic, stop for whatever you need for life like dinner or groceries or the several things you need to do like prescriptions, buy that replacement doorknob, pick up cleaning, argue with your data provider, and so on. Collapse at home and it's now between 8:00 and 9:00 PM. An hour to handle dinner and cleanup/dishes, homecare stuff like installing that doorknob, then a couple hours against your better judgement just loafing and trying to escape from thoughts of work. Fall asleep at midnight, get 5 hours sleep and repeat daily.
Now add potential kids, friends, parents, or partners. Unless you think they only deserve you on your days off
Man learned meth instead of math
Sleep at work!
I think they intentionally do this to go viral
Commutes don't exist.
Plus they must spend zero time getting ready after waking.
Smell so fresh with no time in there for bathing.
Or getting some rest after getting back from work.
And if you have children....
You see this was made by someone with no life or loved ones. So they clearly forget other people interact with others as a significant part of their time.
This is what people talk about about when they say ‘capitalist atomization’ encouraging or forcing the isolation of people.
As someone with no children, I disagree with the pic. Full time work means no time for a lot of things - with or without kids. More so with kids. We all got stuff going on.
1 hour gym (assuming you care)
1 hour getting ready and breakfast
30 min commute
8 hr work (AT BEST LOL)
30 min commute
1hr make and eat dinner
5hr (whatever you want)
8hr sleep
This is if you are alone with no responsibilities. U got kids? Kiss those 5 hours goodbye.
25 hour day, unless you included gym in the 5 hour free time.
Assuming hour at the gym, you've got 4 hours free time with those metrics. Throw in bathing, laundry, cleaning and preparing for the next day and you can get it down closer to 3 hours free time!
It also ignores a 1-hour lunch break at work. Which most office jobs require by law. Crafts persons and emergency workers might be a bit different.
I only need 8 minutes to walk to my work. At best, I still only have two hours a normal day, at the standard? There’s isn’t event that. Granted, I have a kid, but even for childless people there are still some things applying here, that I explicitly do not count under free time.
My normal Monday:
6:00 - waking up 6:30 - getting out of bad and taking care of the kid 6:45 - helping making breakfast, eating and feeding the kid 7:15 - shower, teeth and what not 7:30 - going to work 7:40 - starting to work 11:30 - lunch break 12:30 - continuing to work 17:00 - end of work (Friday I go home earlier) and going to whatever needs to be done, for example grocery shopping 17:10 - grocery shopping 17:40 - going home 17:50 - putting everything away 18:00 - preparing and eating dinner 18:45 - playing with the kid 19:30 - making the kid ready for bed 20:00 - cleaning the kitchen 21:00 - washing clothes / drying clothes / folding clothes 22:00 - me time 23:00 - bed
Even without my kid, I wouldn’t have much more time than that. I would sleep one hour longer, and I wouldn’t need as much time to clean the kitchen or washing clothes. And that is disregarding other duties like regular paperwork and so on.
Exactly the person above you can’t do basic math either with a guide on what do w a 25hr day as well. Also someone doesn’t need a kid to be put on a tight schedule. Imagine a student, someone with a pet, a disabled family member to care for, even a hobby like gardening can leave you without time for anything.
We are people not machines and everyone needs time to care for the ones we love and our passions.
Yea, everyone has a “baby” at home. It could be an actual baby, a significant other, a cherished parent, a pet, a fulfilling hobby, gaming, watching soap operas, or infinite other things
I don't interact with anybody and yet, I can't find that much time in a day.
And they can conveniently flip a switch to instantly fall asleep the second they want to go to bed.
Would absolutely love to exactly this…
And all that food to cook amazing meals with just magically appears in the fridge
Obviously they use the Star Trek method of just beaming to the office and their individual atoms are cleansed en route to the destination via hyperspace
This is what I absolutely love about remote work. 0 commute and 0 getting ready beyond getting out of bed and walking across the house.
All that time I used to spend commuting is time I get to do house chores so that I don't have to spend my whole weekend doing it and instead I can spend time with my kids.
right! yet they want everyone “back to the office”
Or a personal chef to prepare all of their meals and restock their fridge/pantry.
Fox is pushing a 'showers are bad for you' narrative now so maybe...
8 hour work day near Los Angeles can turn into 11-12 with traffic+ lunch break. Add 30-60 minutes getting ready. I used to do this then work a 4 hour remote job when getting home, and 8 hours on Sunday. Only one day off a week. Boy did that year suck.
Was going to say, I think it's interesting to point out with these posts how they never seem to mention the literal hours that most people need to prepare for and recover from work. Not to mention commute time
One of the many reasons I love working from home when I can. Instead of my commute being half an hour each way, it's half a minute.
Working from home has been such a game changer for so many people. No commute means you get an hour or two back to yourself each day.
More time for family and hobbies! 💜
Yeah, work from home feels like it literally revolutionized my work life. I was exhausted every day because I had to get up at 6 AM to get ready, out the door, and over to work in time for 8 o'clock meetings. Then an hour-ish commute back so I get home at 6. But then it takes 30-ish minutes to get settled in after getting home, so it's more like 630-7 by the time I'm actually ready to relax.
Oh wait, except me and/or the wife will be hungry, so we need to make food. There's another 30 minutes.
And hey if I don't want to be miserable tomorrow waking up at 6, I probably want to go to bed at 10 or 11.
Work from home gave like 30% of my life back. It actually made me enjoy work more instead of resenting it for sucking my life away.
Which is why I get very very angry at the morons that want everyone dragged back to the office because of their need to socialise. Because apparently they don't have real friends, only people that spend time with them out of literal obligation
Or math.
Apparently math doesn't exist either.
8 hours left. Out of which almost two hours to get ready and get to work and one hour to get back from work. So only 5 hours. In my case I have a 9 hours work day so 4 hours in total.
4 hours is not enough time to spend with my family. I spend half an hour just to get fresh after work.
Out of the 8 hours left, you deduct 3 for commutes and getting ready for work in the morning, assuming a 1 hour commute.
Then you need to eat. Half an hour to an hour cooking, about half an hour of eating and then doing dishes, cleaning etc. Another half an hour. So let's say you lose at least 2 hours for the 'eating ritual'. So now you are left with only 3 hours of free time.
Tack on some other generic cleaning tasks, a few additional adult non work related administrative duties here and there, and those 3 hours get easily cut in half. So then the question is, are you really going to do a course or something in those remaining 1.5 hours.
I'm assuming a no kids single or working pair home situation, btw. If you have kids, the equation is going to be entirely different again.
In any case all that discussion is silly. Working is tiring and you are exhausted when you get back to home.
That’s a huge problem for me. By the time I get home from work, I’m mentally and physically exhausted, enough so that almost 1 full day of each weekend is just spent resting to try to catch up and not start the next week exhausted.
In these 4 hours you also need to buy, cook and eat dinner, shower, do house chores. That's 1-2h a day, now there is only 2-3hours of free time.
Without saying it's not bullshit:
Start prep mealing. You cook once or twice a week but a big batch, portion it, freeze it and you will have food ready in 3 minutes of micro waving on the off days. Cooking the bigger portion barely takes longer than cooking a normal one.
I admit it can get boring at times if you slack once at cooking and now lack diversity in the fridge so you have to many repeat meals but the upsides heavvily outweight in my opinion - oh and bulk buying is at times cheaper too.
Dont forget grocery Shopping or doctors apointment or Chores Like doing the dishes
Clearly, they forgot to factor in the daily 10-hour social media debate on whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Critical oversight!
Beerus: Excuse you and your entire race...
Which it does.
Wait, I thought we were supposed to have a debate.
When am I supposed to play video games, eat nuggets, and sit on the toilet??
Damn you can eat nuggets and game at the same time? My hands get too messy. I’m strictly toilet and nuggets only.
Sit on the toilet at work, of course. Get paid to dump
Work = 8 hours
Sleep = 8 hours
Getting ready for work + commute = 1 hour
Part time study = 3 hours
Cooking and eating dinner = 1 hour
That leaves me with 3 hours of the day to do anything else. Some people have no concept of reality, not to mention the maths is wrong lmao
Don’t forget shopping and planning dinner. The ingredients don’t magically manifest 😂
Honestly, this was why we signed up for Hello Fresh for a while. I was working + school, husband was working + coaching. In season, it was 100% worth the extra cost for short bursts (They’ve since gotten too expensive and their quality went way downhill, but years ago it was great)

Offer code Thyme25.
Seriously though, used to be worth it but like everything else the price went up as the quality went way down.
I wish work was only 8 hours.
Getting ready to sleep takes me an hour. Skincare, teeth, hair needs to be braided, make my nighttime tea and get a large tumbler of water, get into clean pajamas and tidy up any mess I made during the day. If I’m going to the gym the next day, I make sure all my gym stuff is ready. Set alarms/lights to come on.
I also have dogs, and I must make sure everyone has pottied before bed. I have to make sure the old cat is indoors (he doesn’t roam, he stays on the patio and sleeps). I help with dishes, putting leftovers away, sweeping the floors and wiping the countertops.
It’s a whole thing! An hour if I’m lucky.
So 8 for sleeping, hour each way, 9ish at work if lucky. Hour and a half for three meals. Half hour to clean up after those meals. So three hours to do shopping, house care, laundry, vacuuming, bills, child care, pet care, etc?
Sounds about right.
Also "8 hours for sleeping"
Are there adults who literally lie in bed and fall asleep instantly? Takes me sometimes hours. (Don't start, insomnia is a bitch).
Only the wealthy know about the secret extra hours in the day.
Sleep 8 hours. Spend one hour getting up, showering, getting dressed, eating breakfast and preparing your lunch. Half hour drive to work. You’re at work for 8.5 hours, (unpaid half hour lunch), then you leave work and drive half an hour back to your house.
Time to relax? Well, maybe. Do you have all the groceries you need? Are your laundry and dishes done? Is your cars maintenance up to date? Did you go to the gym this week? Do you have to call back the IRS or your landlord or renew your license or call the bank about a weird ass charge on your account? Okay do one of those. Now you need to eat some dinner. Now maybe you can relax for a little bit before bed.
A typical day of me sleeping, getting ready for work, going to work, doing 1-2 of the necessary errands/tasks that need to be done so I can keep the hamster wheel rolling, and then getting home to make some food realistically leaves me with maybe three hours, usually less, where I get to “live my life”. It’s a sham.
Try work 9 hours, sleep 7, leaves you 8 hours to get ready for and drive to work, then home, then extracurriculars. Your extracurriculars if you don’t have kids.
Hé means he sleeps 2 hours at his job….
In my case it's sleep for 7-8 hours, work for 9 to 14 hours depending on the day. Most weekdays I also commute an hour one way, so 2 hours driving if I don't hit traffic. The days I only work 9 hours, I have to use the 5 hours left to do the things I can't get done when work, sleep, and commute take all my hours. I work 2 jobs, and one of those jobs requires a 7 day workweek at least one week a month, so days off aren't really a thing.
This is Andre Tate isn’t it
Super hack! Sleeping at work.
First thing I thought as well. Two things requiring less time when combined, means you double dip.
They must have a teleporter for going to work.
And no kids, pets, errands or chores. They spend no time on eating, dressing, showering, or grooming. They fall asleep the second their head hits the pillow and require no other rest. Amazing. ✨
If you don't use all 26 hours of a day you're wasting it!
Dedicate 2 hours to studying basic math
All of you are the idiots, I sleep on the job for 2 hours a day
K.
8 hours of sleep
9 hours of work (including 1 hour unpaid lunch)
1 hour commute (1/2 hour each way conservatively)
1 hour to shower, eat breakfast, shave(or makeup), hair, teeth, dress, gather your shit
We’re already at 19 hours.
1 hour to cook and eat dinner
Puts us at 4 hours (at a max)
Tell your wife and kids to fuck off because you’re going for a walk on the beach, where I will workout and learn a language at the same time — and I’ll be back in 2+ hours because I live an hour from the beach, which leaves roughly 30 minutes for dumb shits like this to kiss 100% of my ass, time doesn’t fucking work like this, you dick!
The secret is to delegate some of that to the butlers. Royston can take over the Urdu lesson, and Natterby can go for the beach walk.
Tell me you don't have a job without telling me you're unemployed
erm sorry you forgot the 8 hours of doom scrolling Reddit
Somebody needs sleep
He must work the same 8 hours my boss does. (6 hours)
He did meth instead of math
Minus 2 hours for commute Minus 2 hours for daily hygiene for yourself So now you’re at 6 Who the f comes up with this crap?
When im in a raging over ragebait posts competition but my opponent is r/facepalm user
This takes into account not needing to work multiple jobs, if not then you’d need at least a second, taking another 8 hours leaving only 2 for anything else
That looks like something Andrew Tate would say and it kinda looks like his profile picture.
Forgot to subtract 90 minute commute to and back from work.
Forgot to factor in 45 minute morning routine
Let's be generous and assume an 8 hour work schedule for the moment.
So..
8 hours of sleep
10.25 hours of work
1 hour cooking
0.75 hours eating
0.5 - 1 hours getting ready for bed
That leaves appox a two hour window to take care of anything else, assuming no children.
Hey I work from 8am to 8pm that's 16 hours a day.
Not only is the maths out but the lack of details kills this.
As an average id say 8.5 hours work, 8 hours sleep, 1.5 hours travel, 1 hour getting ready / changed when back and 3 hours cooking, cleaning, doing jobs.
That leaves 2 hours, a lot of which can be lost moving between the above, going to bed early, traffic jams, going shopping on the way home, talking to a colleague after work, answering phone calls and text messages, booking appointments, doing big house chores etc. And you need time to unwind as well. And of course, the big one; kids.
9-5 is crap, there’s just too much to do. I work 12 hour shifts and yet I’ve never had more free time because I don’t work 5 days a week.
in addition to not being able to do basic math, this person apparently also doesn't commute.
I mean if you are working from home and are childless and can skip shopping for Frocester by having them delivered and are healthy enough not to have doctors appointments take up a significant portion of your time and arrange things so your toilet breaks are during work hours and a ton more you could maybe do that.
Unless you don't actually live near a beach...
So here is my day. Tell me when I have time to workout or study new things. - wake up at 7 am - eat, shower, do some cleaning, walk the dog before 8 am - go to work before 9 am - leave work after 5 pm - make something to eat before 6 pm - walk the dog before 7 pm - collapse on the couch at 8 pm - watch some TV show and read news before 9 pm - eat and go to sleep at 11 pm Repeat next day.
There's this magical thing you can do called sleeping at work. That's how the math meths out.
More like I work for 12 hours, plus 1 hour commuting, sleep for 6 hours (if I’m lucky) so that leaves me 5 hours of free time, 4 really because 1 hour is in the morning when I wake up and drink coffee and get ready. So yeah I have 4 hours at the end of the day and I’m so damn tired I usually don’t do much except eat, shower, watch an hour of a show I like and pass out listening to a podcast.
I have dyscalculia and even I know that math is wrong.
8 hours of sleep. 1 hours waking up and making breakfast. 1 hour to get to work. 8 hours of work. 1 hour drive back to home. 1 hour to cook dinner. 1 hour to do chores. 1 hour to exercise. 1 hour to study. 1 hour with kids and wife.
Maybe for somebody that works from home
Don’t forget the half hour to work and half hour from work. That you pay for yourself.
lol work for 8 hours? I fucking wish
8 sleep, 8 work, 1 for travel time, 1 for fixing food, 1 for housekeeping, and then 1 for extras and you got 4 hours. Good luck
24 hours
5 hours sleeping
10 hours working
2 hours eating
3 hours homework.
3 hours for chores
1 hour crying
The trick is to sleep 2 hours at work.
Correct, time is not the issue…the math is lol
Getting to work, eating meals, doing necessary things at home which aren’t work related, etc apparently aren’t factors
8 hours sleep + 1 hour travelling to work + 8 hours at work + 1 hour travelling home = 18 hours + 2 hours relaxing = 20 hours + 1 hour shower = 21 hours + 2 hours seeing friends = 23 + 1 hour at the gym + 1 hour getting there/back = 25 + 2 hours eating = 26 hours
Yup. Time is not the issue. Math is.

8 hours of sleep
1.5 hour travel to work
8 hours of work
1.5 hour travel to home
1 hour of cooking (Unless ordering)
0.5 hour of cleaning myself

Wake up at 4, leave at 4:25, get to work at 5:35, start at 6, work till 3, get home at 4:15, shower, cook dinner, homework and play with kids, 7:30, get them ready for bed, 8:15, talk to my wife and get is ready for bed, 9:00. Wait?! How much time I have left ?
This Is why they don’t want overly intelligent people.
