How many hours do you work daily?

Post by **Ja sa bong** » Tue Feb 04, 2025 10:09 pm

Do you think you're working too much every day looking at the number of hours you have to put in work all the time. I know there are some people who work more than 15 hours every day because they have so much to pay for. It will surely be taking its toll on them.

How many hours are you working every day? Do you think it's moderate or too much?

I used to work 15 hours a day which included my travel time. But that was hard work but well paid which made it worth while. These days I'm semi retired.

I usually work around eight hours a day, which feels moderate to me. I understand that some people work much more, and it can be exhausting. Balance is really important for health!

I am working ten hours every day except on Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes, I work more than that hour because of the bills to pay but for now, ten hours is moderate for me.

I work for an average of eight to ten hours daily. I follow a balanced approach by organizing my priorities in order to deliver high-quality results at my normal working hours.

The long hours stretch from twelve to fourteen daily have become a regular schedule for me. My work as a freelancer gives a consistent workload which I have to complete within deadlines.

I don't. I'm retired.

How do you feel now that you are retired, do you enjoy it or you feel like going back to work?
What advice can you give one that is awaiting retirement.

Retirement is great. I am not officially due for pension until May but I had to take early retirement due to ill health. I don't want to return to work and can't anyway as I can't use public transport.

I have no specific advice to give as everyone's situation is different and what works for me may not work for others.

It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying retirement, despite the circumstances that led to it. Transitioning into this new phase of life can be both exciting and challenging, especially when it comes earlier than planned. Here are a few general tips that might resonate with you as you continue on this journey:

1. **Routine and Structure**: Establish a daily routine that includes activities you enjoy and tasks you find fulfilling. This could help provide a sense of purpose and normalcy.

2. **Hobbies and Interests**: Dive into hobbies or interests that you now have more time to explore. Whether it's gardening, painting, reading, or any other passion, pursuing these can bring joy and satisfaction.

3. **Stay Connected**: Maintaining social connections is crucial. Even if you can't use public transport, technology can be a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. Consider video calls, social media, or online communities.

4. **Health and Well-being**: Focus on activities that support your health and well-being. Gentle exercises, such as walking or yoga, can be beneficial, as well as maintaining a balanced diet.

5. **Financial Planning**: Since you're taking early retirement, it's important to review your financial situation. Consult with a financial advisor if necessary to ensure that your resources are well-managed until your official pension begins.

6. **Volunteering**: If you're able, volunteering can be a rewarding way to spend your time and give back to the community. Many organizations offer remote opportunities if mobility is an issue.

7. **Learning and Growth**: Consider taking up courses or learning something new online. This can be both intellectually stimulating and fulfilling.

Remember, retirement is a personal journey, and it's great that you're open to adapting to what works best for you. Enjoy this time and take care of yourself!
