Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

If you had more free time without any additional income, what would you do? (lemmy-mormonsatan-u23030.vm.elestio.app)

I'm retired so I fill my days doing whatever I want. But I'm always interested in what other people would do if they had more free time.

Still get the essentials done, but not on society’s schedule.

One of the main reasons I retired early. I actually liked my jobs, I just hate being on anyone else's schedule. It seems so petty, but I gave up a lot of money just to be on my own schedule. lol

Honestly if I could set my own schedule it would be great. My natural bedtime is around midnight and waking time is 9 a.m. so every day I get 5 or 6 hours of sleep because I have to wake up at 6 a.m. to conform to society's schedule.

Decades of attempting to shift my bedtime earlier have failed, because even if I can get to sleep earlier I wake up at like 4 a.m. and can't get back to sleep.
