I know right. I often think the same thing. How do people work and still have a life?
That is right, we who still work don't have a life, at least not in the way we would fully like it. That is why we are on this site, saving for FIRE. :-)
Of the OP list of things in a typical day, we have to do similar of these things in the weekend and in evenings, instead of relaxing in the evening. Or we have to pay someone else to do it (like in my example of kindergarten). If we decide to go on a hiking trip, these weekend chores typically keep waiting until we are home some weekend later.
* Woke up with the kids at around 8 (wake up at 6:30)
* Breakfast (fast)
* Did some work on my wife's bike to get it ready for a ride she went on today (evening/weekend)
* Took care of kids while wife went on said ride (pay for kindergarten)
* Gardening/yardwork (weekend)
* Harvested and cleaned some veggies for dinner tonight (part of dinner preparation, right before cooking)
* Some volunteer work for our church and a non-profit (weekend)
* Made lunch (very fast made pack of sandwiches during breakfast preparation)
* Played with kids (kindergarten or evening)
* Archery practice in preparation for deer season (weekend/evening)
* Leg workout (evening)
* Work on some logistics for upcoming backpacking trip (several evenings and putting items on list the rest of the day)
* Tea time (we drink tea after dinner while watching the news on TV)
Vacation periods and not being at home have a whole different feeling about them. We do not need to do anything. And yes, sometimes we should have done so much more.
