#337: You finish work with every intention of working out, cooking dinner, calling a friend, reading your book, or finally getting back to that hobby you love. Then you sit down “for a second,” open TikTok, half-watch a show, and suddenly it’s 10:47 p.m. Where did your entire night go? Josie breaks down how to stop accidentally giving away the hours after work, without turning your evenings into another productivity routine. These aren’t leftover hours to kill until tomorrow or the waiting room in between workdays; they’re where your relationships, hobbies, health, dreams, and actual enjoyment of your life happen. The goal isn’t to squeeze more productivity out of your free time, it’s to remember that your life doesn’t end when the workday does.
