Since I’m leaving my job soon, I’m in the midst of evaluating what I want to do next. That means thinking about what Jobs I would like, but even more fun, it involves thinking about what I want to do with the free time that I will have when not spending 16 hours a day in work mode!
To the rescue: lists. Blank piece of paper, brain, and pen. Here are what I identified as my priorities:
- Reading
- Writing
- Playing music
- Running/exercise
- Cooking
- Spending time in cafes
- Playing games
- Eating
- Seeing friends
- Movies/TV
- Cleaning/house projects
- Learning online skills
- Computer mapping
It can be helpful making lists like this. Because of this one, I started weeding internet time-sucks out of my life. Facebook is great, but I spend to long scrolling through my news feed. So I decided to do less of that. It feels great! I’ve been really into decluttering in the past, and it’s so nice to return to that!
