A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

As a working class adult you have to start applying time management skills to your life or you'll be overwhelmed.
One of those skills is budgeting time for recreation and hobbies. If something is important to you, put that time on your calendar.
I have teenage kids and a busy life. We plan for game nights on the PC, usually Tuesday and then one other night during the week as long as there's no sportsball practices or whatnot.
Unfortunately the old "I'm bored, time for gaming" won't work anymore. You have to assign value to your activities. Doing nothing on the couch can be an activity, gaming can be an activity, doing the dishes can be an activity. If you don't assign values to activities and schedule them then you'll get overwhelmed because you won't have time to do anything.
