Easy. Skip the one hour for lunch, one hour for dinner, and one hour to get ready in the morning. I got for a run and shower and dress, and only need 30 minutes to do all that and leave the house.
These are things you can fix yourself. If you really want more time, millions of people do it.
Also, I cycle in and out so that commute is actually exercise and much more pleasant.
> If people had shorter workdays they would actually have time to spend money
Ok, not sure why that is automatically a great thing.
- teirce 9y ago> Skip the ... one hour for dinner Not really sure how you are accomplishing this unless you are getting takeout. Between prep, cooking, consuming, cleaning, that is easily 30 minutes to an hour. If you cook enough for several meals that mitigates the cost somewhat, but there are other sacrifices made there.
- alsetmusic 9y agoFurther, people have families and dinner is a time to spend with one another.
- cakedoggie 9y agoThen count it towards time spent with your family, not dinner.
- cakedoggie 9y agoCook for the week in one lot? Eat simpler? (Bean salads are my favourite, takes less than 5 minutes to make).
- sarabande 9y agoI don't think the OPs statement is all that unrealistic, especially for a single male. Perhaps an upper bound would be 50% plus his estimate, but even me, who I don't consider a ridiculous saver of time, shower within 5 minutes (from old clothes to new clothes), make breafkast and eat in in about 15m (egg omelettes are very easy), whip together and eat salads for dinner within 15m. Time savings can be had without a huge reduction in life quality.
- jvln 9y agoYou must be very fast - I can run 10k in 50 min and I need 30 min more to do stretches. I hardly can be as fast as you.
