It never ends...

Hi friends. Today I would like to chat with you about how chores and work never end. Most people out there have a daily job of 8 hours per day and I am curious to see how they are managing their time. To me it seems that I never have time for myself even though I have no children and I am not married. I mean, I go 8 hours to work then there is the time from home to the working place which is about 1 and a half hours and then there is the stuff named chores when I get home. They seem to never end. It seems that I have no more time for myself. Let me give you a practical example of a daily routine: I leave home for work at about 07:45 in the morning and I am back in my home at about 17:30 in the afternoon. But then there comes the part where I need to cook some food to eat. But in order to be able to cook the food that I want to eat I must first need to go to the store to buy the stuff that is needed. Then I return home and cook some food, eat it, wash the plates and forks and spoons and all of a sudden the hour 23:00 has arrived and all my day is GONE in an instance. I personally find this to be extremely frustrating. No matter how much I try, I never have enough time to do what I like. How do you people manage your daily time? Are you satisfied with the time that you get to spend on yourself doing what you like, hobbies and stuff? PS: Is cooking also considered to be a chore?

Long time no read! It's nice to see you back on the site. We few Europeans must stick together! Have you ever considered cooking something for several days which you put into the fridge and then only heat when you come home.

yes. I have done that but I can't keep it in the fridge more than two days. Whatever I cook, I must consume it in maximum two days even if it stays in the fridge because it does not taste the same as when it is just cooked.

@Cristi_Ichim Have you got a freezer? You could keep the food there. I don't think that the taste becomes bad. You can prepare goulash and when you want to eat from it a second time, you only have to boil potatoes and warm red cabbage which you buy in a glass or a tin.

@MALUSE I do have a freezer and I do sometimes keep some things inside. I will try to make a bigger amount of food and eat from it for a longer period of time.
