It surely gets better if you can make the necessary changes to your life to improve this.

I never hear anyone talk like this who doesn’t live in the suburbs with a huge commute. I live in a city and can get to work in 15 minutes without a car.

My schedule is:

That gives me a full 6 hours between finishing work and going to bed. If I choose an easy dinner, I hardly have to do anything less than fun after work, and I work in a cool part of town so I don’t actually have to go commute anywhere. I can be drinking at a bar within 5 minutes of clocking out, and I don’t have to drive home. Any other errands I make in a week are within walking distance of my home or work.

Before I moved, my schedule was:

So that gave me an entire 3.25 hours after getting home, giving me no time to fit a workout in without giving up other leisure activities. This doesn’t even factor in that everywhere else I needed to run errands was a 15-30 minute drive away.
