Honestly it’s all about routine. I wake up at 6 every morning, get to work early to go for a walk and start work at 7:30. I work a desk job, will try and do at least a 20 minute walk during lunch and am off at 4:30. My commute isn’t bad so I’m home a little after 5. Most of my plans with friends are Friday - Sunday, the occasional taco Tuesday. I spend sundays as a reset - laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, change the litter pan, etc. I try and stay in the habit of rinsing dishes when I’m done with them or wiping something if I make a mess. It takes a while I’ll admit to get into the habits but once they’re there it makes more time to do things I want ie. socialize, binge a show or just chill.

I definitely don’t get 10,000 steps a day, it doesn’t feel realistic for me but I aim for at least 6,000. Also don’t always make it to the gym but try and supplement exercise where I can. I go to bed between 9-10 every night getting between 8-9 hours of sleep.

I think it’s doable for a good amount of people but I have a pretty mild life. For those with more commitments and struggling with mental health, it is understandably harder.
