Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don’t need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time?
I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it’s been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it’s time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
I like to think I’d tend to my garden, fix bicycles for the neighborhood, volunteer at a youth center and become politically active. But there were times when I had no job and no lack of money, and I just doomscrolled 16 hours a day.
Now I have a job that doesn’t stress me out, has purpose, pays the bills and then some, and is done at 3pm. And I actually do all these other things in my free time.
But I do need strong external motivation to start the day and get outside.
