Planning to move out with my parents

Help me, give me your advise to prepare. this is my current situation, I am not used to be independent. I do not know how to be independent. I don't know how to do household chores. and this is the only time I am going to work and earn my own money. i don't know how to doing well to survive. I have question in my mind that how can I do the survival of cleaning the house, paying the bills etc. and at the same time I have time to self actualize and do my routine? like how do you do that for 24 hours? please that's what I have right now I think I over think this, but I really need your input here. Furthermore my current situation right now is I passed the interview I am waiting for the email of the company that I applied for my training. this is my first time to work and do 9 to 5 jobs. so I don't know anything in life in this dimension. Life is starting to pull me in this direction . I choose to work at call center. That is the only easy way to earn at least good income. I live in the Philippines. What do you think? I am ready to work haha. I spend 2 to 3 years of this pandemic really to self reflect, letting my subconscious to come out and now finally I know now my zone of genius, top 5 strengths domain of mastery  now my next step in my life is to earn money to actualized everything that my subconscious wants to actualize in reality. because of that I have so much motivation in life and last 2 days ago I am worried that I cannot sleep with this motivation I have in myself . Until now I am still finding higher salary that other company will give me.  I say to them hey I passed the interview and they are going to train me I am just waiting for their response if you will give me higher salary I will decline them because for me 20k is so little to my independence if I want to live here surviving alone, somehow I can use that to pay courses or maybe hopefully I can go out and do my pick up and socialization work with that money and pulling myself bootstrap but given their reason upon me that I have no experience, i cannot go full force bootstrapping and be alone just like that. but i want now to go out there and to kill. They don't realize if the starting salary is high then I will never leave that company ,  the starting  salary is the problem not just my experience. 

so people. what can you say about it? 

give me suggestions about other stuffs I could do with my work, my money,  me buying stuffs, sleep, morning waking up, preparations and any other things that I don't know. I want here a big picture that I can use for myself the moment I start to work. hopefully the training and  passing me is real haha I am paranoid I want now to work!

Some tips from me (24 years old):

- Make the schedule to have at least 10 minutes of meditation every morning and every evening. Even those stupid 10 minutes kinda multiply the time you have during a day.

- Buy shirts and clothes that are elegant enough for job but are from fabrics that do not require ironing. I ironed my clothes two times for th whole year.

- have a lot of pants and socks so that you can do a big laundry less often.

- in a job that is not connected to you passion, really show that you are high energy and enthusiastic for the first half a year, and after that never ask for additional tasks. They are usually not rewarded and once you have more to do you can't go back,

- have some kind of excel file where you will track your expenses,

- buy clothes in second hands, i look really good and 99% of clothes i have from second hands which allowed me to save thousads,

- eat at home, healthy. For the morning like 4 scrablled eggs is really cheap, really healthy and take like 3 minutes to do. You dont have to eat fancy. There is a lot of cheap healthy simple foods that are fast to make if you lower your standards of fancyness.

- sav your money and don't spend on stupid shit.

- try to clean on the go, dont let pile of dishes to stack up. It is so much better psychologically to wake up in a clean room.

- walk/bike to your job as much as you can.


In the Vast Expanse everything that arises is Lively Awakened Awareness.

Definitely recommend that too.

And if possible, get at least two bank accounts so you can use one for daily expenses and the other one for stuff you gotta pay once or so a year, like insurance, taxes etc.
