What I lack in your story is the necessity of ‘freedom’ and just letting life be life for some people, me, to thrive. To do lists and allocated times for everything feel extremely confining to me. So do I not get what I want? Ah, yes, I want freedom 😎
Do more of what works for you. Constraint has helped me in an invaluable way; create your own way based on how you like to live and what feels best and most productive in helping you thrive!
But it’s always the minimum effective dose. I know my limits and I try not to exceed them. Think working at 85% capacity for each domain. Less is more.
I’m always adjusting with trial and error too. I can usually write for 1-2 hours a day, read for about 30-90mins a day, lift twice a week, BJJ 2-3 times a week, personal to-dos get put on the back end usually.
It’s just about knowing your limits and always moving forward, no matter how small the steps might seem. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing! I found it hard writing with a full-time job, much less fitting in hobbies etc. Sometimes I didn't feel like doing anything after work. But yeah, small progress is still progress!
First question you should ask yourselves. do you actually want it or do you want other people to see that you have it ?

Oss 🙂
start from scratch/chaos, six domains are too many to keep track of.
start with two. work and family, or work and health, or health and community, etc.
you needs skills and experience to partition life/time into 5, 6 different blocks. two is easier.
build on rewards from delivering less and grow into more.
how do you juggle full-time work with writing AND hobbies?
I just block in the time and tick off my to-dos.

Always!
Clarity to the core 💪💪💪
People who get "everything they've ever wanted" in life aren't special. They just had clarity and did the work
