Idk about you all but when I’m overworked, sometimes when I get free time, I finally have a chance to just exist and do nothing for once.
~(Also, all of the research on UBI show that when people don’t have to work, they still choose to)~
yea i feel like i need a week or a month to just breathe. and then afterwards i would do all the things i always wanted to do

Yeah, and taking time to rest actually makes you more productive.
This is true, though we might be better without defining our free time in terms of our productivity for our employer.

Yeah, sometimes. Definitely just sometimes…

This was me last year. I didn’t get so much done
I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be.
Reddit (now Lemmy) singlehandedly made me as un-creative and unproductive as I am now (more accurately it’s my tendency to get addicted to stuff like this led to this, but please let me have this)
I have to get all of my (non money earning) work in the morning before even opening my phone. As soon as the social media gets going my motivation to do anything creative and engaging drops.
I’ve tried focusing on creative/artistic communities to try and inspire myself…but it just doesn’t work. I think the passive intake of media ends up scratches the same itch in a much less fulfilling way.
Okay, there’s my sign I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Thanks
It isn’t really about time, it’s about energy.
It’s both, you need both.
Also money. All the free time in the world doesn’t matter if you can’t afford anything.
Time AND money.
Usually one lacks one or the other.
Add motivation to the pile

Yeah, but it’s true for me, though.
I’m an artist. I make illustrations in 2D and model in 3D. Income from it is shit, but it’s what I love doing.
However, I needed to take more hours for my day job just to afford life. Now I have less time to work my craft and everything had slowed to a crawl.
Imagine how my life would look if I had a million dollars!

Hey life, I’m game!
Life is only interested in things you could get done, with a million Dollars. Not how your life will look like.
If I had a million dollars, I could eat a burger for breakfast tomorrow.
Life’s a demanding jerk
Conditions, conditions. I’d like to speak to life’s lawyer.
Pretty much the pandemic for people who didn’t lose their jobs.
i mean, technically you said could you didn’t say that you would
Just that you could so there was never a bluff here.
Swap time for money if youre serious

How’d you get this footage of me?
Maybe a bag of energy and I am golden.
