I am a PhD student in computer science/machine learning. I do not have a family or a significant other to spend time with.
I work every day from morning to evening with no regular days off. I take a 3-4 day break every 6 months or so.
I work out almost every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes over a lunch break.
Productivity is managed via detailed to do lists for every project. The day is broken down into morning session, afternoon session, and evening session. I constantly re-organise by moving things between the slots to optimise deep work.
On top of my own research, I receive constant tasks from my adviser who uses me as a kind of assistant for everything they feel like. They do not pay my tuition or have hired me as a TA (I am funded via an unrelated scholarship).

I cannot wait to get out.
