Balancing the 8888 Rule: Finding Time for Sleep, Work, Leisure, and Parenting

8888 rule. What does that mean? Well it suggests that you need eight hours of sleep, eight hours of work, and eight hours of leisure and that’s where you get your 24 hours in a day. What about parents? Because there’s no parenting in there. Like who making this rule? Somebody without kids? Well that that’s the eight of that part falls into the leisure. Like inside leisure you have your family, your friends, your health, your hygiene, your hobbies, your service, and then things that make you smile. When I saw the 888 rule it just made me think of you because I’m like there’s you’re not a parent but there’s no way you do 888. Well let’s think about this 8888 sleep. I would say probably I’ve been sleeping a little better. I’m averaging about five. I think I’d go probably 12 to 13 work. Leisure? So it looks like you got six hours of leisure there but remember leisure is family, friends. Okay hanging out with my wife. Yeah I think my wife and I probably do three or four hours together. Health and hygiene falls under that. Exercise? Yeah. Yeah I don’t know this thing is there’s no way anybody lives by this. Well they say it needs to be like seven, nine, seven sleep, nine work, the rest. Four kids and then whatever we have left figure it out.
