I feel so tired after half a day of work, never mind working a full day. After a couple of weeks of this, when i get home, i have no energy left for anything. Even things I usually enjoy.

Everything feels like a drag at that point and I can’t seem to do anything to improve this.

Doing this for a few more months usually ends up with me having to quit my job or i will get so tired and sick I can’t do anything anymore.

How to deal with this?

    Usually I work pretty regular hours 9-5/6. I find it difficult to cope with the fact that so many hours in a day are dedicated to working for somebody else, so i find it even harder to spend more time on maintenance activities to compensate for the fact that I’m working all day.

    I’m really impressed by people that go to the gym early morning or straight after work.

    Currently not working though. So I could easily fit in some exercise, but keeping the routine after going back to work is always the difficult part.

      I often go to the gym straight after work. It sure as heck helps that I mostly go to classes, many of which I have book a spot in. Often I book even if it wont be full just to have already made the commitment. Many of my classes are also timed such that I can get off the bus from work and just head over or that I can get home and do ONE chore.

      Then it has become a routine and now it is part of my after work routine. Bonus of going to classes is that you can get some light socializing in.

        I probably should try doing this.

        But the cost of gym classes kinda scares me off. Especially at this moment when I’m not really earning any income.

        Definitely feels like it would be easier to join a class than follow my own training plan though. And having some other people to motivate you sounds great.

          Don’t know how the market is around where you live but it may be worth it to shop around a little and see what the fitness centers offers. Since I didn’t remember if I had to make a choice when I joined mine I took a look and their only offer is ALL OF IT - classes and gym. Looked around and it was the same elsewhere too. Well pretty much everywhere else, the exception was a place where the cheap offer was swimming area and gym.
