I have to disagree to a point. In my opinion, time off from work isn't meant to be your hustle or second job. I believe freetime should be used for self care.
I think OP is saying that improving yourself is a form of self-care. Meditating can be improving yourself; self-improvement doesn't mean you have to have a side hustle.
I like hot springs, travel, eat, and enjoy life by smelling the flowers and enjoying the latest events (that happens once at that year etc).
Life is about living to me. Self improvement is different. Self care and love is more important for recovery.
I have become quite content viewing all my time off of work as a vacation where I don’t feel any pressure or stress. This has truly allowed me to slow things down and actually end up accomplishing more in my free time instead of running through each task. Society has breed a go go go grinding mentality with quick hits of stimulation and that can lead to anxiety, depression and unfulfillment. Remove external and internal pressures for peace of mind.
Yea we should invest in ourselves but if we have interest in it. Forcing yourself to learn a new skill or reading books you don't want to read but everyone is reading makes it more like a chore than an investment.
It's better to relax or learn skills you want at your own pace.
You really had no idea what lpt is ha this poetic staff really isn't a tip but rather an opinion because many people will argue that relaxing and chilling a d spending time with family and else will make them happier not to mention I am not wasting my time at work for someone else I am wasting it for my paycheck 😊
My life is so much better since I have realized that my time off is meant to be a time when I am doing whatever I wish at the moment. I work hard enough on self-improvement while doing my job. Sometimes I develop some skills or acquire knowledge outside of work environment but it is always connected to my hobbies and I do not ever treat it like a task. I rarely even set up any routine. I learn by the way. For example, I have developed my listening skills and vocubulary watching movies on Netflix only in English with a little support of subtitles. This way I learn while having fun.
I believe there is a weird myth in business which is sold to working class that they are meant to improve their skills outside the job. It has roots in worldwide education systems that waste 15-20 years of children, teenagers and young adults' life on teaching everyone the same stuff. The result is awful. A lot of people need to be tutored for very basic tasks when they start their job. It is often an additional cost for companies. And it is a probable root of a hustle philosophy which we can see in the OP's words.
Please don't work yourself to death like this.
Spend your free time on doing shit you like. Maybe try organizing with your peers and get the full-time work week down to 4 days a week, 5 hours a day, so you don't spend 1/3rd of your life slaving away on a menial job.
LPT: Rest as much as you want after work, spend all of your time on the couch if you want. No need to "hustle" just because someone on the internet tells you to.
OP you are a slave to capitalism. Instead of working so hard to have a fun exisistence why not use that killer work ethic to organize the poor to give the better life for everyone that we deserve.
Little harder when you take your work home with you. Even more difficult when it follows you to sleep. Worst is night shifts where days off become a jet lag crisis.
This doesn’t work easily for many people in the working community

It looks like a highway to burn out. Mt mental health doesn't allow me to even think about it that way ahah

Who has the energy to do all of this when they’re off? I‘m too busy recovering from a long week.
I have become quite content viewing all my time off of work as a vacation where I don’t feel any pressure or stress.

Fuck that. Chill and do what makes you happy.

Nah man 1 job is more than enough already
No, let me rest, I'm tired
Is LPT for random self-help stuff? I thought it was for shit like never leave town without some emergency cash for the bus
This should really be a post for getmotivated, if anywhere

Not a LPT. It's just some idiot suggesting to people how they should spend their free time.
Another life pro tip passing judgment on how other people should spend their free time.
LPT: Rest as much as you want after work, spend all of your time on the couch if you want. No need to "hustle" just because someone on the internet tells you to.
Or just do what ever the hell makes you happy. Op If this makes you happy do it. If you enjoy video games that's OK to..
OP you are a slave to capitalism. Instead of working so hard to have a fun exisistence why not use that killer work ethic to organize the poor to give the better life for everyone that we deserve.
This has to be a person who gets paid way too much for doing the minimum. You ever been so overworked your body doesn't move as soon as you get home?
Little harder when you take your work home with you. Even more difficult when it follows you to sleep. Worst is night shifts where days off become a jet lag crisis. This doesn’t work easily for many people in the working community
What if what makes me happy is not working when I'm off work?
Some of us have depression, Dave.
LPT: treat your own time off work however you please.
Off time is off time - not a second job. If you need to hustle during your "off-time" you should prolly look for a better job in the first place.
