commute - work someplace closer. or get remote work.

chores - have less stuff to maintain.

eating - not sure what can be done here.

exercise - look into tabata or hiit. you can workout 2x20min a week.

you can also find way to be more efficient with your activities to cut off time on each one, even if you keep it.

sure none of these suggestions is without cost. but these suggestions can be enacted to the end goal of more time (for sleep or whatever)

* You can collapse your commute and exercise in to one activity.

* You either pre-cook meals on the weekend, or utilize a meal substitute like Soylent (or both)

* Most chores involve cleaning things that just get dirty as part of their normal use, if you shower and spend most of your "toilet time" at work, you automatically have someone who's going to clean up after you.

This lifestyle sounds unbelievably dreary and sad.

In what possible way? Biking or walking to work is "dreary and sad"? Spending less time cooking so you can spend more time doing exciting and fun activities is "dreary and sad"? Pooping at the office is "dreary and sad"?

What kind of life do you lead where being stuck in traffic, daily meal preparation, and shitting on your own toilet is a constant thrill ride?

My commute to work is 10 minutes. I poop and shower at home, in my own lovely bathroom. I cook elaborate meals at home and serve them to people I love.

I guess I'm just surprised when people don't share the same joy of cooking. Or, for that matter, taking an excellent bowel movement in one's own toilet.

> taking an excellent bowel movement in one's own toilet

On the other hand, as the saying goes: I make a nickel, boss makes a dime; that's why I poop on company time.

What, biking to work and showering there? It's heavenly.

eating - I think that's why Soylent was so popular. People liked the idea of drinking a meal while working/multi-tasking. I'm not 100% into it, especially since I'd prefer something with a better ratio of protein, but I see the appeal.
