When you get to the end of your life, old and tired, and you look back on all the things you did and time you spent, what will make you say: yes, I did well and it was all worth it?
Put another way, if you have an extra hour tomorrow with nothing planned, what could you do with yourself to later say: I’m glad I did that? What if you have an unplanned day? Or a week? Does how you use that time change? Would the choice of how to use that time be more or less deliberate, depending on how long you have? Does that choice define you as a person?
I have all day tomorrow, with nothing planned. Odds are I’ll waste it playing video games, because I have nothing better to do.
Is that because video games are awesome, or because you haven’t used your creativity to come up with anything else?
