#4The same way as I spend my mornings, days, and nights: nothing constructive.

that sounds pretty fulfilling; how much "evening time" do you have to be able to afford these activities?

I got a new job with a 15 minute commute and free breakfast, lunch and dinner. So if I eat dinner at work then I will be home around 7ish, and go to bed at 11.
That leaves enough time to do most things but not everything everyday.
I also fart around on the Internet a lot in the mornings but when I am more diligent then I wash dishes and read books before work too.

#7I get home between 7 and 8pm. Usually my evening goes:
1. Yoga at my neighborhood studio
2. Dinner (eggs and toast with kimchi, maybe sauteed kale if I'm feeling ambitious)
3. Reading time or, if feeling lazy, I listen to a podcast and crochet for a little bit.
4. A small amount of writing (at the very least a journal entry)
As you can see... the last thing I want to do when I get home is touch code. But maybe this is why I'm a mediocre developer...
Does anyone have any advice as to how I can actually want to code when I get home???

#8I get home around 7-8. Half of the time I'll cook dinner with my wife, talk about our days as we cook, eat dinner together. Around 8:30 or 9:00 we'll hang out in the living room. If I have energy and am feeling ambitious, or I have to work a bit extra, we will listen to music and I will code (for work, or open source, or side projects), while she reads. This might last until midnight, and then we'll go to bed. I try to read for at least fifteen minutes before bed on a kindle as I wind down. Seems to work well.
If I'm too tired to work, we'll watch netflix together.
Two nights a week I try to exercise (martial arts classes) and instead of cooking I'll get take out or eat at the local inexpensive Japanese or Mexican restaurant.

#10Get home at around 6pm, stream League of Legends until midnight. Go to bed.
Due to donations I can treat it as a poor paying part-time job.
