First off, I work from a coworking space that's a five minute walk from where I live, so I don't have a commute.
Secondly, 90 minutes is probably on the high end for a workout for me. If I'm pressed for time, it's closer to an hour.
Also, I don't know that I always work 9 hours a day. Realistically, I probably work a normal 8. I also often eat lunch at my desk, which shaves off half an hour from your estimated eating time.
As for chores: I pay someone to clean my apartment. I'd rather spend the time on other things.
I don't watch much TV. I also don't spend a lot of time hanging out with friends during the week. My wife and I don't have kids yet, so "family time" often consists of her and I reading or watching a movie together.
I'm sure it'll be harder to stick to this schedule when some of the above changes.
- mkramlich 16y agoOne of the attractions for me of doing contracting, telecommuting and/or startup work is the greater freedom to work from home or wherever, untethered, and having a zero-commute job. It's a great lifestyle. I figure if I can get my total weekday required commute down from say 2 hours to 0-0.25 hours I save roughly 500 hours a year. All of which become hours spent on things which give me a better quality of life (more sleep, more exercise, more meditation, more relaxation, more friend time, family time, etc.) I hope an increasing percentage of folks do it in the future, because I truly think it will help make the world a better place, especially through the indirect benefits of reduced traffic, reduced pollution, reduced vehicle accidents, fossil fuel consumption, miles-o-asphalt-culture, etc.
