WORK WEEK IN MY LIFE: after work activities, grwm, weekend recap, cooking, christmas wishlist lol

[@mackenzieholtz1116]

everyone i know that does corporate jobs brings a bag to work so they can change clothes and they go workout straight after work! then they go home and shower/eat/decompress! Maybe switch your walk and workout. walk in the morning workout in the evening? Maybe that will help with your emotions hitting after work as well!

[@KeeganActon]

oh I love the idea of switching my walk and workout!! im going to try that thank you for the suggestion!!

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

I love holiday decorating. I can't believe Christmas is around the corner.

[@KeeganActon]

im so excited for christmas!!!

[@e4mi]

the "feeling like you have no time" burnout is so real. I personally cant live alone because of it (and my health). The biggest thing that helps me in that state is trying to get back to basics. Look at my life/hobbies and reorganize priority of each. i.e gym on W/F, T/Th hobby, etc

[@e4mi]

sounds SUPER extra but helped my ocd too, making an "ideal" week schedule (paper or digital) and leave room for flexibility. I literally did 4pm-10pm including get home snack, dinner/YT and chill, hobby from 5-6 etc

[@KeeganActon]

this is so helpful I love the idea of an ideal week schedule im going to try that!!!

[@anadacunhaluis]

You talking about getting that book for your mom to write is such a cute idea! Since I was a kid I collected my dad's stories (he was sort of a local celebrity and had a super intresting life!) and I really want to publish his story one day! Next week it marks another year since he died, and I miss him every single day, he was just the most amazing guy ever, gone too soon! But as Taylor says: "What died didn't stay dead, you're alive, so alive" - and yes, I put his picture on my phone during Marjorie at The Eras Tour because that song describes so well the feeling of losing a loved one and missing them every single day. He is always with me and I feel him all around, always. Hugs x

[@ROFLsmacker]

The arms are looking TONED! Your workouts are really paying off.

[@KeeganActon]

ong THANK YOU this is so nice of you

[@TheMorganGibson]

31:00 I love those types of books! I so want my mom to do one for me also, I love when she tells me stories about her life growing up as a child, young adult, etc and I think it would be so cool to have it in her writing!

[@KeeganActon]

it would be so cool to pass down to your children and their children!!

[@hillarysimpson5348]

Omg I keep a Christmas and bday wishlist year round and add/remove items throughout the year so I don’t forget anything

[@anne_bckmnn]

I have a job where I need to leave my house everyday and I constantly feel like there’s no time for anything left. Like when I get home in the afternoon/evening I get ready for the next day, shower and go to bed. It’s not that dramatic, I do have some time for myself left, but it feels like I don’t have time to do anything else. E.g. getting a doctors appointment is really hard since working a real job 🙈

[@bennettb]

I hope you have many more bagel/free gift card/sushi kind of days in the future. 💕

[@mariamyer]

My mom and I carpool so we go straight from work to the gym twice a week. That works for us because we work out by ourselves and not in a workout class. If there’s a workout class after work that you’re interested in, I would suggest trying that. Or, if you’re comfortable you could shower and get changed at the workout place and go straight to work from there. My mom did that for years.

[@LisaP-qe9gy]

It's easier for me to work out at home after my 9-5 job. I have a stair stepper and just recently bought some weights and I try to do it 6-7 times per week. Hate working out in front of other people.

[@kaylashockley5049]

[@KeeganActon]

i cant wait!!!

[@danikamcnair288]

For working out after work I do it immediately after work! One day I’ll book a spin class right after work, and then on 3 other days I’ll go to the gym right after work! And if I really don’t feel like working out on one of those days I’ll push it to Saturday or Sunday!

[@bernadettelumley]

I work a corporate job. On average, I work 55 hours a week. I work out 5 times a week between 6:30 and 7:30pm; it helps me decompress.

[@KeeganActon]

do you do classes or go the gym whenever you feel like it?

[@bernadettelumley]

​@KeeganActon I don’t go to classes; however, I do have a Pilates reformer and Peloton bike at home. I work with an online personal trainer. I do all of my workouts (strength training and cardio) at home.

[@cameronmaxell2171]

I feel you with the workout classes, I work 9-5 and I do 7 am work out classes once MAYBE twice a week. I just know I will be dead if I do them more often. But I also know I'm so exhausted after work!! no good answers lol

[@KeeganActon]

hahaha you get me its a lose lose

[@erinbaum7015]

I work a hybrid schedule so on days I work from home I go do a morning workout class. Then on the days I work in the office I go straight to a class after work. I also hate waking up early to workout so this is what I found works the best for me! That way I wake up at the same time everyday.

[@KeeganActon]

do you end work at the same time everyday so you know when to schedule your class or does the time you get off vary?

[@erinbaum7015]

My work is pretty flexible, so i make sure to end at the same time everyday! ​@KeeganActon

[@TobilobaOlusanya]

Yes I 'm loving it Keegan

[@sarh23]

I tend to do longer workouts on the weekend, and then during the week I usually do some kind of exercise every evening right before my bedtime routine starts. Some weeks all i have the energy for is walking for 15 mins every work day evening and one short run on the weekend. other weeks I actually get three or four proper workouts in on the weekdays as well as 3 separate things on the weekend, like where one day I'll do two things like yoga and a run, or pilates and spin. My rule is to at least do something for 15 minutes, and to accept that working 9 to 5 really drains me sometimes so sometimes thats all I can do. Adding it into the start of my nightime routine really helped because its become a habit, just like how I think "wash face, brush teeth" before bed, i now also think about at keast doing some yoga. Ive also found that waking up at the same time every single day really helps, i can't get up earlier one or two days a week, because my body never understands it needs to sleep earlier for those days Edit: also it sounds like youre having such a hard time 😢 please try to remember that even small things help

[@sydneyyyxxoo]

your “christmas wishlist” has the same vibes as my wedding registry lmao it’s more of a “i MIGHT want this later so let me put it on here” list

[@KeeganActon]

that sounds so fun!!!

[@reinadellasschizas]

I work 9-5 hybrid and I am a mom so we have quite different lifestyles. When I work out it is always after work. I have gym card which allows me to take part in any classes I want or to enter any gym of the network. So when I am at an office I look for some classes at the gym close or at the gym which is on my way home. When I work from home the case is much easier. Time batching works for me best in this case.

[@CarleysCorner]

For going to the gym I go as soon as I’m home! So around 5-6pm. It sucks but my mentality is kinda of “just get it over with” but I also don’t want to wake up at 5am to go in the morning lol! So 5pm is what works for me.

[@KeeganActon]

I think im going to try that next week. do you usually go home, change, and then straight to working out?

[@CarleysCorner]

Working in the morning is best for my energy, but if I miss then I do it in the evening. Nothing has to be set in stone either way, so I just do what I feel

[@madisonrussell8444]

I have to workout right when I get home from work. If I sit down and start relaxing I won’t be able to get back up 😂 it doesn’t happen every day but I try to at least twice a week even if it’s just a quick walk 🫶🏼

My fav sunscreen is Obagi… definitely an investment but I swear it cleared up my skin! I had a lot of scarring after Accutane and this has kept me clear. Goes great under light makeup

[@savanna2932]

Hi! When I was in office it was impossible to workout before work since I had to be there by 8am. I tried a few 6am classes, but those stressed me out the most lol. I ended up trying the 5:30pm class which was a game changer, I would pack my workout clothes the night before and bring them with me to work. This saved me time since I was able to go to class right after I got off ( instead of going home in between) and was done with class by 6:30pm. Hope this helps 😊 Edit: I also got a hatch alarm that does the slow sunrise thing lol

[@KeeganActon]

[@thecraftloft]

I don't do workout classes (never been a fan of them). And I've never been a morning workout person. For me, I like to workout at the end of my day/late night. Then I shower and go straight to bed. I sleep like a baby. I know working out energizes some people, but not me. It's the perfect end to my day. I'm 49 years old and I've been doing it this way for 20+ years. You just have to find what works best for you.

[@danaelois]

I just have to say, speaking from personal experience, that 'I don't have time left next to work' spiral is so real, but also fixable. I know you loved working from home, maybe a remote job is more for you? Since I started working remotely, I have never been so happy and content in how it fits with my personal life and the things that give me balance and energy. It's okay to change jobs when the company work-style doesn't fit you (anymore) ❤

[@PrincessDiamondCut]

Making time for workouts while working full time is so challenging. The only thing I can do in a typical week is walk on my lunch break. Than maybe try to find a weekend workout class.

[@KeeganActon]

honestly walking on your lunch break is so smart. once it cools down I want to do that

[@Just_Jim2]

I took my trash outside this afternoon and was like holy cow it’s so hot! I was all excited about the temps in the 80s last week. I wish it would start cooling down. 😩 Have you had ATL wings? I tried them last week and thought they were pretty good.

[@ddubbs9629]

So I have 2 jobs. My FT in office job is Monday-Friday from 7AM until 3PM, and i have a part time job in office 2-3 times a week from 4-8 plus the weekends. On the days i work both jobs i have no choice but to take the 6 AM class and then go straight to the office. On those days i leave my house at 5:45 AM and im not home until 8:30PM. Those days are rough. On the days with 1 job I take a 4:30pm class. I love those days. on the weekends i just fit it in where I can! I still work out at least 5-6 days a week and I usually get in my 10 K steps too! but it is HARD. and if i had kids i think it would be impossible.

You are far too smart and beautiful to wear clothes that look like you just took them out of the laundry hamper. I realize on your post grad budget dry cleaning may not be an option so get yourself a steamer. Keep it plugged in but turned off near your closet staging area. Then each morning just before you get in the shower turn it on so it’s ready when you’re getting dressed. Just make it part of your morning ritual. You’re a professional, you can do it!!!

[@KaleyRuff-sh2gs]

you cutting that sweet potato made me so nervous! I also feel like I am not able to fall asleep. One thing that helps me is melatonin. Don't take it every night, but just the nights you struggle. Also, 30 minutes of no screens. I know it's silly, but it helps me so much. Recently i haven't been on the best sleep scudele. last night i didn't go to bed until 2:30 and i woke up at 8 for my college classes. It's been like that for the last 2 weeks. Because my course load this year is so big, I can't stop at 4pm like I did last year because I won't get everything done . So I work from 8am-11pm with 2ish hours for lunch and dinner. I usually go on walks in the afternoon after school, but I have been slacking lately because of school.
