Description:
Lately I wanted to change the way I use my free time. I define my free
time as: not working, not sleeping, not eating. So, I estimate it to
six hours a day in work day and fourteen hours in non worked day.
With the year 2020 being quite unusual, I was staying at home most of
the time without seeing the time passing. At the end of the year, I
started to mix the duration of weeks and months which disturbed me a
lot.
For a a few weeks now, I started to change the way I spend my free
time. I thought it was be nice to have a few separate activies in the
same day to help me realizing how time is passing by.
# Activity list
Here is the way I chose to distribute my free time. It's not a strict
approach, I measure nothing. But I try to keep a simple ratio of 3/6,
2/6 and 1/6.
## Recreation: 3/6
I spend a lot of time in recreation time. A few activies I've put into
recreation:
* video games
* movies
* reading novels
* sports
## Creativity: 2/6
Those activies requires creativy, work and knowledge:
* writing code
* reading technical books
* playing music
* creating content (texts, video, audio etc..)
## Chores: 1/6
Yes, obviously this has to be done on free time... And it's always
better to do it a bit everyday than accumulating it until you are
forced to proceed.
# Conclusion
I only started for a few weeks now but I really enjoy doing it. As I
said previously, it's not something I stricly apply, but more a general
way to spend my time and not stick for six hours writing code in a row
from after work to going to sleep. I really feel my life is better
balanced now and I feel some accomplishments for the few activies done
every day.
# Questions / Answers
> Some asked asked me if I was planning in advance how I spend my time.
The answer is no. I don't plan anything but when I tend to lose focus
on what I'm doing (and this happen often), I think about this time
repartition method and then I think it may be time to jump on another
activity and I pick something in another category. Now I think about
it, that was very often that I was doing something because I was bored
and lacking idea of activities to occupy myself, with this current list
I no longer have this issue.
