My wife goes to bed early, so I get a few hours to myself to watch whatever show I'm interested in that she's not, and play video games without it taking my attention from the family.
Quietly clean the house, bake, prep pieces for sewing, write a little on my book. Basically all of my quiet hobby parts. I save thé noisy bits for 8am.
I have two almost adult kids that live at home. They sleep through it because they are use to my routine. The dishwasher/dryer/washing machine running actually helps them fall asleep by drowning out the city noises with their white noise.
Same dude! What I am trying to achieve is now in my last year of the uni, I am trying to learn a trade to make a living by doing my own stuff.
All my other friends sent CV's and shit to get work experience in the field, get certificates, improve theirselves... And here I am, learning from zero with almost no experience or any network.
But I am hopeful. Thinking about my projects makes me happy and want to do more. This lead me to watch less of that stuff and kill less time.
This comment became long and does not fit to the sub but; the downside of my mindset atm is that, I become depressed when I fail at something... That makes me go lay in bed browsing YouTube. Won't go away in a week, too.
Work, give me the night shift. I'm going to be up anyway. I'll sleep in the morning when friends and family are at work/school and spend the evening with them, just like I would on day shift.
