[Discussion] How do you balance your lives?

Between education, work, exercise, social obligations. How do you do it? How do you balance your eating habits? How do you walk that fine line between obsession and ignorance, starvation and gluttony.

Do you have schedules you adhere to, do you keep telling yourselves you're going to be better, or do you just go out and get it done.

My story if you choose to read it: (Honestly, no judgements here, I forget to shower because I'm so fixated on school. I don't wear socks, when people ask about it, I tell them me not putting on socks saves me 3 minutes a day and that they should try it.(sometimes citing the fact that Einstein did not wear socks if met with subsequent ridicule) I eat poorly because if I didn't I'd probably starve (I can become uninterested in food and go through periods of not eating for days). I wear the same shirt until it gets stained. I talk only about science and what interests me to the few people that I still cling to in my life (Sometimes asking strange questions like "What would it be like to stand on a ball in uniform circular motion?"). My life is not very balanced and I worry very little about my physical appearance until I see my reflection and get very insecure... although others call me handsome. All in all I fall in the "keep telling yourself you're going to be better" category. Sometimes I think to myself what's it all worth? Looks and male masculinity can be so vain, and intellectual pursuits are sometimes pointless because everyone is competeing in our day and age. Money isn't important once you have it, because how do you keep yourself busy, and if I start a company I'd probably get kicked out of it anyways. So I don't want to look nice, I don't want to be smart and I don't want to be rich....what the fuck do I even want.)

Just please everyone share their live balancing stories!
