How do I get through mind-rattling 40+ work weeks and still have the energy left for personal projects? I feel like a zombie halfway through the day it seems hopeless

>>33305330 (OP)
speed

>>33305371
So what I'm just supposed to work faster?
I go pretty quick already and it stresses me out

>>33305603
something like that

>>33305330 (OP)
>personal projects
you just don't want to accomplish them

adjacent question to OP because i don't wanna make a seperate thread!

is there a service one can sign up for that applies for jobs for you? i've been job hunting for 6 months with no luck but can barely sit through one, 45-minute digital application without wanting to tear my own head off.

>>33305330 (OP)
my solve for this is that i refuse to work 5-days a week. i would smoke myself before i give 5/7th's of my life to a job. i wouldn't give 5/7th's of my life to a business i OWNED, much less for the sake of another fella's bottom line.

also, friendly reminder it used to be a 7-day work week until unions lobbied for weekends off. the bar has been lowered before and needs to be lowered again.

You could automatize it somehow, have you ever tried a bot for a mmo or online game? It's a good idea, looking for a job is dreadful

>>33305722
that would be awesome. i've heard it mentioned that many people do stuff like this now, and that that's part of why it's harder to get hired (more applicants per posting). maybe i should look into it. i've always wondered how one does that given how many variables there are for any given application.

>>33305330 (OP)
Maybe grow the fuck up?
You sound like the sort of guy that grew up with no real chores, no real responsibilities, and that vaugely did homework sometimes and still bitterly complained of how oyu had no freedom.

>>33305712
they are called employment agencies.
Look them up in your area

>>33305739
Not OP, but that's not an invalid set of circumstances to grow up under. It's not his fault his parents were soft on him, or that he didn't plead with his parents to be harder on him so he'd learn discipline (pretty word for enduring tedium). He's only got the cards he was dealt and is just trying to make a hand out of 'em. I don't think there's anything wrong with admitting a 40-hour work week is dreadful. Peer shaming is a tool of the oppressor, to keep the common man from lobbying for better circumstances.

>>33305706
Fuckin moron

>>33305330 (OP)
quit or get fired

i work 55 hour weeks and still work on the h-game i am making about 5-10 hours a week

i don't know i guess i will just defer to will smith on this one:

"how do i do it? i just bite off more than i can chew, and then i chew it"

>>33305955
What job

>>33305955
i guess the core of my advice is to just use the time you would have spent masturbating to create something

>>33305964
fixing cars

>>33305330 (OP)
You're probably doing a bunch of unnecessary things: commuting, scrolling, stoning, drinking. Look into remote work and go for walks to unwind.

>>33305765
Fuck off, nancy, using quasi-Marxist buzzwords to pretend being weak isn’t something anyone can fix AND painting self-discipline as being oppressed.
And you’ve got about 20 years of hard work at self-improvement beforehand you would rise to the level of near-peer with me, junior

>>33305971
That doesn't sound like an easy job but I think mine may be more strenuous. At least you get to use your mind. I've taken your advice in stretches of my life and I tend to go in phases of sprinting and resting. Maybe chasing the high of significant "progress" is hindering me. I tend to be stubborn about working on a problem until I truly understand it so I tend to wait until I have several free hours. This ends up putting my creative endeavors against needs like working on my car or applying for jobs or making important phone calls . I'll see about trying to work in smaller chunks

>>33306182
easy there, Mike Rowe. isn't it time for somebody to put another dip in to take the edge off? LOL

>>33306269
OF COURSE the guy spouting off about the common man is a classist tool that mocks the common man ASAP

>>33306269
>>33306317
Mike Rowe is just trying to promote some godless ethic creed that appeals to a secular society as part of his TV celebrity persona.
>Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

That verse is where the notion of "Protestant work ethic" comes from btw. And if you're not happy with your job and can't do your job as unto the Lord, then you should quit and find a new one which you can. And if you're a saved believer and you don't do this, you're not right with God and you're a bad testimony to the world for Christ's name.

Oh yeah everyone who works an unpleasant job also shoves tobacco up their gums

>>33306451
You were dropped on your head as a baby more than once, right?

>>33306182
The time you spent on this post was time you just stole from your employer, you red communist fuck. Pay him back immediately in cash.

>>33306473
At least my parents are still alive

>>33306484
pretty bold to assume I am at work.
Do you think everyone in the world lives in your time zone and works day shift?

>>33306575
This is time you could have used to work another shift, you lazy bum

>>33306557
>I was dropped on my head a LOT actually
FTFY

>>33306585
Shouldn't you be at the grocery store? Your EBT just got topped off

>>33305739
>no real chores, no real responsibilities
I love how you faggots act all proud about how your dumb ass had to raise a bastard kid or a junkie family member, as if you didn't have a choice to cut these retarded "chores and responsibilities" out of your life in the first place
Get a cheap place, get roommates, live in a van if you have to etc. and coast off of a part time job. Don't get a bitch pregnant. Take life easy. How hard it that? Retard.

>>33305330 (OP)
Build habits. It requires a lot less energy when you're used to doing it every day. Getting started is the hardest part. After a few weeks it feels weirder not to do it.

>>33306601
I can tell brother, don't worry to much about it there's still a place for you in this world with a dead dent and two dead parents

>>33306618
>Just be a fucking bum, maaaan. Just, like, live in abject poverty with no hope of a home or a family, bro. That's so much better than, like, doing laundry, dude.

>>33306604
Nah I got a few more days

>>33306484
kek

>>33305330 (OP)
40 Hours is standard. I worked 65 Hours and still made time for my own shit, you clearly don't want it enough like the other anon said, if you want something enough you will find a way to do it.

You just don't have the hunger.

>>33306184
>I think mine may be more strenuous.
making excuses, classic example of you not wanting it enough you lazy fuck.

Hegel won against Schopenhaur btw, even though they are both partially correct

Sleep well, eat well and stay hydrated

And stop procrastinating - if I spend an hour just scrolling socials at work or in the morning then I have zero momentum and the day is fucked.

>>33305719
>implying you can't wake up early and go to the gym/run/read/walk in the woods, spend your lunchtime doing something fun/interesting and then enjoy your evening socialising or enjoying hobbies. Agree 5/7 days is a bit shit, but wishing for fewer working days is pretty retarded desu, all western economies are basically totally fucked and we can't afford that

>>33306557
savage lol

I was a telephone interviewer

>lazy
Fuck you
>don't want it enough
Fuck you
The money holders are butt fucking us and asking why are anuses are so sore and anyone with a brain can see it
In a decent economy people can choose to work part time and still live a regular solitary life where they can pursue their passionate

>>33307064
grats on the sit down job. do you think you would've had as much energy to pursue hobbies if you performed 60 hours of manual labor a week?

>country contains a finite amount of currency, say for example $1 trillion dollars
>billionaires (less than 1% of the population) remove 700 billion from play in pursuit of collecting the most money
>the rest of us are left to squabble and steal and starve for the remaining 300 billion dollars
Unironically–how do they get away with this? The world's billionaires got several billion dollars richer collectively during the pandemic. That's a recorded stat. How small does our share have to be before people stop bootlicking corporate cock and start smoking more CEOs?

>>33307186
>How do rich and powerful people get away with X?
By being rich and powerful, obviously

They make the rules, and if you break them you go to jail.

I quit going to work after I realized 90% of the time I'm just wasting my time doing pointless shit nobody cares about and not getting ahead in life.
I worked there a lot over the past 12 years and the wagie community was a major factor in my decision to not work anymore. NEETs did it to an extent as well but WAGIES are far worse.
Someone could give a long drawn out and factually accurate explanation of what would have to happen for me to even be able to one day buy a home and have a family and why working was fraudulent. The post would get a dozen responses of
>WHY SHOULD YOU EAT?
>when you know you know
>economic collapse is coming
>stack metals the end is nigh
>keep waging faggot
>100% eoy silver will reach 5k an ounce
Or some equally long schizo post explaining numerology, using bible scripture and random posts here explaining how by the end of the year billions will be unemployed because of the AI.
Here we are.
After seeing the nothingburger today I came here just to watch the seething and suicide letters. It’s beyond EOY, the jobs didn't disappear, the banks didn't collapse (unfortunately), no more use cases and all the dirty laundry is out in the air now.
It’s not going to be Millennial's Economic Paradise, it will not be the Roaring 20's all over again. The world will not be descending into hyper deflation and prosperity (as was obsessed over for months/years) it will be going on as usual with no major gains or rewards.
I will enjoy watching wagies burn every step along the way.
Why?
Because those fucking idiots deserve it all.

>>33305330 (OP)
Write down ideas for when you do have the time and energy, and look for a different job with decent pay and hours if needed. (Probably?)

>>33307157
what kind of retard even considers 60 hours of manual labor a week lol
