I have more free time now that I have in some years.
The trouble is that my default is still to fill the free time with … busyness.
There were many times last week when I realized that I had been putzing around the internet, looking at things, reading, watching YouTube, looking at what other people were building, and wasting time.
I have no problem with wasting time. I am a firm believer that leisure is a crucial aspect to life and happiness.
The trouble is the in-between. When we’re not quite relaxing, but we’re not quite working. Usually, these moments are spent in self comparison or in isolation.
So my main priority this week is to work when I am working and relax when I am relaxing. If I am going to sit down at the computer, I plan to know what it is I am doing before I start doing it. That way, I will also know when I am finished.
I am going to stay away from the in-between. Nothing good comes from that.
Let me know if you wanna build something
