Having time for all that would be nice.

None of those things needs a big time requirement. You could work out for 5 minute a day if you want, study for 5 minutes, and do something creative for 5 minutes.

Most people don’t prioritize vitally important things like self study.

I agree, but putting the time to make space and pull out study material has to have the value of learning enough. I do actually study regularly, but we can’t pretend it doesn’t require significant energy and dedication to produce a result.

When you’re studying for a class you need to study hours to hit those deadlines. In adult life you can do 5 minutes a week if you want.

I would agree, except for the continue studying. Everyone has at least 20 minutes of downtime that they could put towards learning a new concept every day

everyone has at least 20 minutes […] every day.

No.

A lot of people do, but a lot of people don’t.

They may have months without any time surplus. And then maybe some months where they do have a significant time surplus.

But never assume everyone has the same time to dedicate to things.

My mom is currently working 50h weeks and I’m sure that’s on the lower end for some people. I’d prefer her to focus on not getting burnout so she is able to survive a bit longer, and that means she physically can’t.
