When the time flies, you age and you grow.

Being an adult seems to require more personal time.

Requiring personal time as in the need of private, peace, quiet and being alone.
Sometimes we just need it to contemplate life, to work, to think.

With my family members being around in a small house, I found myself to be staying up late just to get "Personal Time".

This causes my to lack of sleep time, sometimes till 1am-2am. Next day is just plain dragging my body to be awake.


Question is, how do you guys manage to scout some free time for yourself?
Before family members asleep, they will always try to interrupt.

Please don't consider me as anti-social, truth is, we are adults, we do need time for ourself too.

Once in awhile take a day off and be at home alone or find a place to be alone. It's just a ME time.
You can talk with ur spouse else later they think u go out curi makan.

Nah, don't think ME time will be outside.
More like inside of house, in the room, no one bothering.

Nothing wrong with regular me-time, it's actually healthy. You could try driving alone to nowhere in particular, have a cuppa in a quiet cafe or a movie.

Thing is, it is difficult to get personal time.

The only available time I can have is when everyone is asleep.

That also means I would be staying up late, and affects my performance the next day.

Please dont pick 3 star.

Its a big different and no no. You will regret it.

Even if the hotel say its 4 star. Never believe the star alone. It is a fake indication becuz of facilities but cheapskate room.

If you been to dubai hotel such as ibn battuta, you want that kind of room to relax.

COMMUNICATION is the key yo. Talk to them, who knows some of them also want ME TIME like you do but never dare to voice out.

sorry to tell you that after marriage, there will be no more "me" time. It is always "we" anytime.

Late at night when everybody asleep is peaceful time where I can read my books, watching anime/movies and play games UNINTERRUPTED.

seriously?
you dont have your own room?
you have siblings coming in to the toilet while you are pooping/showering?
you dont travel in your own transport?
you dont go out for a walk alone once in a while?

i dont know about you but my best time alone is in the toilet. seriously i have many inspirations especially when im showering. even these days i switched off my car stereo just for that moment of silent.

i have been in similar situation.. only able to get my ME time from midnight onwards to catch up on snacks / watching series, read etc. best solution is to move out but if that is not an option..

1. i would frequent spa like two weeks once
2. i would drink coffee alone (no, am not an anti-social) but just enjoying some thoughts to myself
3. would drive slower or different route from work
4. on weekends, either i'll sleep very late enjoying my ME time or wake up early for bfast or walk

and TS, hope you are enjoying your time with your family too. not everyone is blessed to be surrounded by family members. a reminder to myself too
