I’d love to work professionally doing music production, composition, and sound engineering, especially for films and video games. I also like doing music transcription and transposition because I have a decent ear and use it to learn a lot of the music that I play (ps I’m a classically trained pianist of over 20 years). Personally, I’d like to be in better shape. I’m not in horrible shape but I definitely do not have the time currently to undertake any sort of consistent exercise routine.

you don’t have 40 minutes a day for 3 days out of the week? That’s all the exercise-time it takes to get in great “athletic” shape. With visible results in only a few months to half a year (you may or may not be where you want to be at that time, but you will see results and progress in the mirror) the rest is nutrition.

  I commute an hour both ways, work 9-10 hours, and have a young child who has sports on the weekends. I also have a spouse with whom I would like to spend time. I also need to eat and sleep. So, no, currently I don’t have that time available.

    your situation is not all that different from many others who are making it right now. One hack that’s very popular is waking up, eating a quick high-energy snack such as a banana (would be enough energy to get through a 40 minute workout), and then taking a shower in the gym (and putting on your work clothes there) instead of at home. You can keep a locker to make it a very comfortable process. There’s a few other adjustments that make a big difference if it’s something you want to accomplish, but I’d have to know more about you. But the main message is that it’s doable, your situation is really not as unique or limiting as you think it may be, and many others in your situation are doing it, without killing themselves in the process.
