In the time I got fired, I finished my learning stack, and had it set up by the time I had work, but then I needed money xD
When life gives you time, make timeonade.
I could do so much with that much thyme on my hands…
Your username + timeonade = now Timebomb by Rancid plays in my head
I see the validity in this, but I think a big reason for it is that right now I’m so exhausted constantly that I need a significant amount of recovery time before I can actually do those things I want to.
Yeah, it took half of my 2 week break before I had enough energy to start working on cleaning the garage.
Call my bluff, i dare you!
monkeys paw curls, you’re unemployed now
Nono, I can get a LOT done if I have something else I REALLY need to be doing (like work) ill get 5 other projects done while worrying about the work im supposed to actually be doing!
On days off, I dont have that motivation and overwhelming choice
“Okay, okay, I’m just a lazy piece of shit, happy now?”
Covid.
I unironically loved the pandemic for being able to progress some of my hobbies
Being able to throw myself into making music for hours without a drained social/mental battery and basically nothing to interrupt me helped me do more in a year or so than I’d managed to find time for in a decade. I also got back into enjoying long-form games that I’ve not been able to make time for outside of the pandemic. The few I’ve started since I’ve had to put down for extended periods of time and that’s kinda killed my momentum. I also read the most I’d read since I was a kid.
So I know I could definitely be given an extra couple of days a week of free time, and would have zero issues filling that time and getting something positive out of it, even if I wasn’t allowed to leave my house.
I’m not saying there weren’t downsides, but more free time was amazing
If you had kids, then you had even less free time during covid.
Exactly. Still paid money and given all your time back too…and still didn’t do shit, huh?
Cannot relate, was working from home before, during, and after Covid.
Yeah, but Animal Crossing just came out…
Uncertainty does not foster motivation nor creativity. The world was reeling from a pandemic and I don’t feel bad taking a step back from life during it.
You guys got time back?
I could get so much done if I just had the time.
please
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Hi Life!
Me, right now. Every year. I blame Xmas madness and darkness and cold.
I thought I’d get so much done with my 5 days of use-or-lose PTO by using it up for Ano Perineum, but, here I sit on Dec 31, a day and a half left, having done just about nothing but play video games. I said I wouldn’t feel bad if that’s what happened, but now it’s like the Sunday scaries are setting in on the year
