so this is the 9-5 club i've been scrambling to join. while i was in school, i could think of nothing better than having a manageable, predictable work schedule, no homework hanging over my head, no hours until infinity. but now... well, the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence.
where's the time for life? in the mornings, by the time i get up, get ready for work, it's time to go. in the evenings, i come home, unwind for an hour or two (or more likely do chores and errands, like cleaning the house, shopping for dinner, etc). then i make dinner, and by the time we eat and clean up, look at the time! it's 10 p.m.! off to bed (we're both 30 or over now, after all), maybe to read or write for an hour or so, and then, that's it.
that's it?? and then on the weekends, we try to squeeze in the stuff we couldn't do during the week. more shopping for groceries, catching up on sleep, gardening, all the miscellaneous tasks.
the only way i can find to get more time is to sleep less (difficult to do) or make the days longer (impossible to do).
at least with school, i had one day off. of course, that was filled with stuff to do, or if i wasn't doing my homework, i was certainly stressing about it!

Long term, the lower stress level really does feel nice. You're not quite there yet for a variety of reasons related to circumstance.
we are creatures of habit. :P hopefully, you will have some lovely things in your daily routine.
hope you are well.
