How can I balance my life with a startup?

[MVProduct]

I'm no longer in university and I don't work a job. Needless to say, I have a substantial amount of free time on my hands to do what I want.

There are so many aspects of my life that I want to build:

• Bodybuilding (one of my goals is to put on weight and increase my muscle mass. This requires about 2 hours per day- which includes going to the gym and food preparation time.)
• Social skills/confidence (ideally I'd like to put time and effort into improving my social skills and building relationships with people. This requires reading books, watching video courses, and socializing with people. This can take 1-2 hours per day, with some days taking 3-4 hours.)
• Toastmasters/public speaking (I'm also looking to improve my public speaking. This can take around 2 hours per week.)
• Salsa dancing (this is a new skill I'm learning and am willing to put in time and effort to learn and improve. This, I imagine, would take around 1 hour per day.)
• Guitar/drums (these are instruments I already play, but I'm still looking to put in a couple hours per week to practice. 1 hour per day.).

Any idea on how to juggle all these areas of self-improvement WHILE building a startup? Could anybody give me some tips on keeping a balance? Is it even possible to have a balance?

Some of the advice I've currently been given:
The only thing you should do is work on your startup, eat, exercise, and sleep.
You should give up on your hobbies if you're committed to succeeding with your startup.

Cheers for any advice given!
