MAN AFTER WORK JUST WANT TO TOH AT HOME, “HOW DO PEOPLE STILL GOT ENERGY TO GO OUT”

How do people find energy to do stuff after work?

I know of quite a few people having packed schedules after work, like going to fitness classes, dating, gym,intensive sports, side hustles, driving grab etc.

I on the other hand is just damn tired and just want to go home, chill in my chair and netflix. Even on days without OT, I dont feel like going out and doing extra stuff after work.

How do people find energy to do so many things after work? Dont they need rest and recovery?

Netizens’ comments

1. i need to know my schedule in advance – dinner with friends, hang outs etc. for this reason, i cannot do last minute impromptu invites. need the time to mentally and physically prep to look alive.
2. Habits. Used to never gym after work, now I find myself restless if I don’t.
3. A mix of habit and motivation.
   I used to hate running and exercising (esp after work). Put on some weight at home, didn’t feel good about myself going out. Then I tried running once, twice, thrice, and started seeing results. Now, I HAVE to run because the habit is formed and it’s a part of my life. I feel guilty if I skip on running for no good reason.
   Same for dating I guess – was feeling very sick and tired of dating but eventually the loneliness catches up and… forced to get up, dress up and make the effort
4. Just kidding. I hate my job. I don’t let my job suck my life so I can do whatever I want after work.
5. Just pure willpower, honestly.
   I don’t want to revolve my life around work and then regret wasting my life when I’m older. So I force myself to do other stuff after work even if it can be tiring.
   It helps if whatever activitiy you’re doing is something that you really love and have a passion for.
6. You can rest on the weekend or accumulate the sleep/rest/recover debt. You got to do what you go to do.
   If you want to keep fit or lose weight, you will move your ass to the fitness class, gym, do sports.
   If you wanna find a partner or paktor, you will go dating
   If you need money for whatever reasons, you will side hustle, drive grab, part time work whatever.
