I’ve done 60+ hour weeks working mon-fri (with an hour of commute by car) and the answer to “how do you have time to do anything else” was “well you don’t”. I’m lucky that my girlfriend was at home doing all the cooking, washing, stuff like that so I could just come home, take a shower, eat and go to bed. Didn’t get enough sleep ofc but you can handle that for some time without being all fucked up. Gets to you over time though.
Halfway through residency that shit had gotten real old, but if I tell a boomer my dream is to work 4x 10hr days a week with no nights and no weekends they look at me like a gangrenous appendage. I want my fucking life back.
