So, I know, this might come as a surprise but I have too much time. To a point where I'm going mad with the emptiness I work 6-8 hr a day, go to gym, enjoy video content, call up family, cook daily, get 6-7 hrs of sleep and am still left with so much time. What is it that everyone else is doing that I'm not. I spend enough time with my partner, have a few hobbies as well. My friends, partner, even parents are busier than me. Everyone I ask is burning out or stressed, I'm having a FOMO because of that. Some days, I finish my work early and keep on waiting for the day to end so I can redo the same stuff tomorrow. 7hr of job 7hr if sleep 3hr of cooking/cleaning 3hr of TV/YouTube/calls/chitchat Still left with 4hrs daily. The only advantage is don't have kids yet, job is WFH, job is chill and doesn't require more than 6-7hrs TC: 350k #burnout #depression #mentalhealth
Sounds like your day has about 48 hrs
Not buying this
I can chit chat with you all day. I'm that free. I save on travel time, WFH job, which itself is chill enough, atleast at my position
Me at Amazon: I work, eat once during the day, 💩🚽, work again, sleep 5-6 hours and repeat
Work on a side business
H1B so can't really do that but also don't know what side business to work on. I swing trade someday to pass time
@desistud may be work on an startup. If you can manage, start by browsing ideas, creating market and competitor profiles. You don't need any specific visa for this.
Sleep more
Damn dude. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a flex or what. You are making good money and have so much time for all your personal care ,hobbies ,partner ,cook , look at crap on your phone. what else could you possibly want? Read a book? write short stories? Volunteer!
Yes, it feels amazing most days. But it starts getting annoying when I'm the only one free. Friends don't even have time on weekends. My retired parents are somehow busier than me. I'm doing all what you are already asking. At this point, I feel I'm missing something which everyone is doing and I'm just wasting time
Try to make some new friends then if they only work all the time. Join a group or club that you have interest in. Or just kick up your feet and relax. But it’s kinda sounding like maybe your not talking about filling time but that you don’t have people to do things with and they’re all doing things without you or something…
In your 6-7 hours of work, how much work do you really do. You’ve a good tc but clearly your work is not filling you up, try to find a more demanding job.
Principal engineer, so most days I'm just attending meetings or writing features on a service I wrote years ago and know in and out. I actually like my manager and work but agreed, it's not challenging anymore
What's your level and YOE? L65?
We’re commuting 4 hrs daily. 😢
I was like that until I discovered Spa and real estate investing
