I don’t have hobbies but if I did they would probably take some of my workout time. I’ll usually work out before work

Working out is your hobby.

You are a physician. Spending our 20s and early 30s in training was our “hobby”

There’s 168 hours in a week. People choose where they spend that time.

Fewer or no kids means fewer or no activities or evening and weekend routines

You MAKE time for the things you love. In your case, it's your kids.

It’s impossible to make time. Every one only has 24 hours in a day. It’s true

You make time by prioritizing the things that are most important to you.

flyzag

9/28/22 9:39am

And that’s the problem. There is such a small amount of hours in a day and too

NO, you are not REQUIRED to spend time in your work culture. You CHOOSE to.

You can get a lot done when you wake up at 4:30am

I don't know. I'm with you. I can't make hobbies work in my life right now either. I have none.

Life has many stages. You’re in the thick of parenting right now but the time will come when that’s not as demanding.
