Don't you do things with other people during the day? Or for others?

@sofssu Indeed all those activities that I do involve others and doing for others gives me happiness and so I consider it me time.

I would get so stressed if I don't have my "me time" every day. It's usually when the kids ate asleep or napping, though. That's the time when I can just relax and unwind or read books.

@cahaya1983 With small kids.. That is a much needed outlet.. or you might lose your patience with them.

When the online life gets to me, I usually retire to the couch to play a mindless game on my tablet and watch a mindless TV show. it's like me time, it's sort of vegetable time

@Rollo1 I used to do that play and watch TV now I have dumped both.. I only catch one hour of news everyday at dinner .. I have deleted all the games on my tab and phone.. I waste way too much time there.. Its been a year and a half since I had done that.

Sounds nice that you can have a few hours of me time when they're at school. I have a toddler at home so it's basically impossible to have my me time during the day until she naps

Since I am divorced and live alone, I have all the me time I need or could ever want. It is great though, as I can do what I want, and come and go as I want. Being alone isn't all that bad, at least not for me anyway.

@sofssu Well, being alone wasn't my choice, but I have adjusted to it now, and you know, that if I weren't alone, I probably wouldn't be able to be in here, so something good has come out of it, for sure.

Yes, that I do. It's my 45 minute nightly soak in a nice hot bubble bath. I pity the person who would interrupt it.

Yes, that's it exactly.

It's not at all due to me being lazy. No way! Actually, I take a book with me, and while soaking I read. It's my time, so I make the most of it.

I think "me time" is very important, especially when you're always around people, so we try to have a bit of me time every day, even if it's just 20 minutes.

I'll get my time while hubby does something alone with our daughter, and then we'll swap. It works out nicely and keeps us both sane! Sometimes it's just something as simple as me taking a long walk, but it's still nice to just get away from everyone for a few minutes and be alone with my own thoughts. :)

@sofssu That's awesome, and that's a great way to spend time together! Hubby does a lot of moving during his job, so he doesn't like to go for walks with me, but we find other ways to spend time during the evening, even if it's just watching TV for half an hour or playing a game together or something.

I do agree.. You need some me time if you are around people all the time. Even loved ones. I generally go for a walk with hubby.. it is our time together,. sometimes it may be the only time we get together on certain days.. so its 45 minutes of our time. I enjoy those times very much.

Yes, i also have a me time everyday . That's when i pray , when i arrive home and just be at the bedroom relaxing and watching TV while hubby is still out in the dining room area doing some surfing on the desktop. And usually on payday , i really have a "me" time by going to the mall and buying anything that can make me happy - mostly foods .

I have "me time" quite a lot. Trust me when I say it is for the benefit of others, rather than for myself. No, but seriously, If I don't have time to myself then I can't acclimate to my tasks.
