I’ve been working full-time for almost five months now and the biggest change is getting used to working full-time. When you’ve been working part-time for most of your adult life, not having weekdays where you can have most of the day off is a big change. Not that I mind the steady work as I am more financially secure. The second issue is finding a schedule that leaves me feeling satisfied and fulfilled. I’ve learned that if I can wake up each morning around 11, I have about six hours to do (mostly) everything I want. Unlike a 9-5, tasks are done before work instead of after. (Which isn’t too different from before, except I have fewer hours in the day now.) This routine includes exercise, chores, running errands, and getting appointments out of the way.
However, I’ve noticed in recent weeks I’ve been feeling burned out and little personal projects go by the wayside. Personal writing, personal branding, and home improvement projects are taking the biggest hit. The desire to do these projects haven’t diminished, but the will do to them has been lacking. Now that I’ve figured out what my ideal day and week should be, I’ve been slowly adding these activities back into my schedule. I’ve also included a schedule for days dedicated to free time activities (gaming) and others related to productivity. Now I just need to set my schedule to account for distractions, appointments, and events that quickly tend to eat up time.
For the most part, I’m seeing a steady decline in frustration and an uptick in productivity.
How do you manage your weekday free time?
Buying a house is such a chore. Physical because of all the repairs and getting supplies to do repairs. Mental because of the stress to meet deadlines with the lender and getting appraisals and hoping they give u the thumbs up ,when the last few times have been in failure. Im near the end of this journey but feeling burnout is also something i deal with daily as well. I also do my chores before work and i always give myself like 2 hours to chill and do nothing .gaming becomes a chore and not something i wanna do right now and thats sad. I have alot to play but no drive or energy to play anything. Still havent played p5, still new in box…oh and being a parent is a struggle too. But our folks did it and now its my turn.
I cant wait until i gdt ny free time back and i can cosplay again. Oh how i miss those days. One day…sniff sniff…..one day….
Hey Aaron!
I understand, having gone through the process about two years ago. Minus the needing to get supplies. At least the home buying process is almost over and once it is, you can breathe easy.
I’ve also been there where gaming has felt more like a chore than a burden, despite it being a hobby. My advice would be to do something else you enjoy until you feel the desire to game again. Forcing yourself to play games when you don’t want to will only make the problem worse.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do whenever I finally become a parent, but I’ll definitely be asking you for some advice. 😉 At least Anthony is almost to school age. When he gets older that should help a lot with you free time and doing stuff like coming to cons with us and cosplaying.
