> 1 hr of intensive sport a day to 1 hr of sport a year
did you make this tradeoff by choice( vs religious reasons ect) . I've never been that active but you sound like someone who enjoyed sports and being active.
As a parent with a 3 and 4 year old who was only a functional adult if I worked out intensely at least 4 days per week, and now is struggling desperately to get that back, its not by choice. Children are just really demanding. I think a big part of the problem is that humans were not meant to raise children in isolated family units. You were meant to have a small village where they could go bother different adults and older children and learn from everyone to find a little niche for them, and everyone just kind of kept an eye on the kids so that the parents could do normal survival things like cook, work, and make.
They used to die in accidents a lot more then now. They used to be independent significantly sooner too. Like, 5 years olds herding gooses next to river with no adult independent.
COVID. I've also been working 80hr weeks for nearly two years now; first building the NL Contact Tracing (GAEN) app and then building the EU and NL vaccination credential systems. Both of which I'm proud of - our work saved lives - and it's worth having a couple of hectic years.
Honestly it wouldn't have been much different if I had been on a normal project; with the COVID measures the kids were at home (so no day sport) and by the time they're asleep the gym is closed. We moved during COVID - I even built my house gym - but it's covered in boxes which we've not had time to sort out (and they're from my wife's crap, so I can't touch them).
My wife owns a group of pharmacies and has been as busy as I have been - they've been running on emergency mode for almost two years, same thing as in most of the medical industry.
