Why would you assume everyone is going to do Gattaca-style exercise daily, have the same mental fortitude, etc.?
Maybe Jane or John is just completely wiped out by work and then goes home to their 10 kids and spouse who drain them further.
Yes, variance is the spice of life. If everyone lived the same, we'd be ants.
I wonder though if there's a path where sacrificing some amount of time at work could eek out net-positive output over the right timeline.
It's just hard not to feel for seeing folks stuck in the spiral of trying to manage so much. And I just wonder whether -- if, say, their employer gave them the space to do so -- if spending just some time on getting "healthier" could help.
Sitting here on a keyboard in abstract though I'm obviously oversimplifying and can't deny at all how hard things are for folks balancing both a demanding work and home situation.
Maybe for a few, but most home issues aren't easily or quickly solved. Some really can't be (kids are a lifelong commitment whether you can handle it or not).
Yeah, my first thought was one of them sounds like they're married with kids.
