@beecycling
Then pay us twice as much for half the hours, you assholes.

(That wouldn't be enough to solve the problem, as this list is demanding essentially three full work weeks of us every week, but it would make it viable to even *try* half of it...)

...Also, I belatedly notice that this list doesn't even include maintaining one's house, hygiene, grocery shopping...

@pteryx Yeah, there's only so much space! And after the job part really I wanted to focus more on things we're told we should do, and indeed we mostly want to do, to be happier, healthier, etc, rather than on the stuff that's simply more demands on our time.
