30 Twitterati Respond When Someone Asks How They Find The Time To Live If They Work Full Time

Working full time can make even the simplest parts of life feel impossible to fit in. Between long shifts, commuting, chores, and the constant pressure to keep everything together, a lot of people are left wondering when they are supposed to actually live.

That frustration is exactly what sparked this conversation on Twitter, when merritt k asked people how they found the time to live if they worked full time.

The responses say a lot about sacrifice, burnout, and the tiny scraps of time people try to protect. Read on.

I don't think it was designed for anyone, tbh.

Amen to that.

I didn't even know that word existed... where's the time to stay updated? smh.

Times have changed, my friend. The dollar you earned decades ago is worth a penny today.

chrisvibeswell

That's right, no sleep.

MorsVitaEst

Now that's just rude. Well, at least pay us better.

DJcbizkit

Eh. No comments.

Only applicable to high- and medium-class families. Not everyone has that luxury.

JenDragonQueen

Nope, not today.

JLamicela

Dude, thank goodness it isn't like this. Also, we all need stoves.

kedgarou

This is just sad.

Ultrakion

This is messed up.

CoomarGadaffi

It’s like the AITA fight where one roommate refused to split rent equally with a struggling roommate.

Work to live, not the other way around.

Makes sense.

Imagine the cleaner's work-life balance.

MagicChupacabra

Good point. LOL.

A 3-day work week would be so epic right now.

Imagine how hard she worked to have to replace her knees.

JulianKJarboe

I feel sorry for you; it's tough.

sosohot1

Still not realistic.

chunterart

I'd like to know too, because enough is enough.

WildMoonMagic

Urgh.

HTTOrganizers

It's the re-associating that'll be a pain where the sun doesn't shine.

TheRedFallows

Easier said than done, Katelyn...

I agree, but that won't stop them from calling you on the weekends.

Basically, when you start working, you surrender your soul and have no life.

KasiaHmura

Hoshi, he needs to learn to cook for himself. You're amazing.

lordhoshh

I'm so exhausted, my brain just malfunctioned. No comments.

SinksAustin

Nails? I understand hair, but working nearly 18/6, nails have lost their priority.

VeronicaScars

Cue in the facepalm.

Remember the times when you could focus on your hobby and make a living working for a nice company that allows you to leave early so you could cook your meals and still have time to enjoy the rest of your evening?

Yeah, exactly. These companies don't exist, and if they do, they're 1 in a million.

Unless you compromise on your sleep and stop cleaning and doing the laundry, there's no way you have enough time to live life.

So next time someone tells you to "maintain a healthy work-life balance," look them dead in the eyes and start singing Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. They'll get the message.
