I'd have to try and get myself to stop procrastinating and get my English course work done, while failing and doing pretty much anything else, like finally watching season 4 of Wakfu.
probably drink :(
Reading the comments and I feel very VERY lucky because i have 24h free basically every weekend.
Write.
Sleeping, but I'm in my 28th 13hr shift in the last month and a half.
Start with a solid 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep! Then make myself a cup of coffee and finish it while it's still hot while finishing my book! Then off to the library to get the next in the series and I pick up my dad for breakfast at a diner. Go home, and have a hot bath and start the next book. An afternoon quickie with my husband. Now I go to my sister's house where our other sisters already are to make a puzzle. All the husbands and kids arrive but since my day is free and uninterrupted my parents are in charge of my baby while I cuddle my husband and we all play Jackbox until midnight .
Your day is almost my perfect day! The sleep in. The diner - not doing a quickie with your guy though. I'm sure your dad is lovely, too.
I need a sleep-in and a diner, actually. I miss Al's diner in Jersey City.
Iβd probably lay on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling, beating myself up for not being more productive. Itβs the ADHD way and thereβs nothing you can do about it.
I have adhd and Iβm currently unemployed, so this is how most of my days are spent.
You have my empathy, friend. Be strong, and never forget that your inherent value is not tied up in how much you earn.
Take two edibles and enjoy a quiet afternoon.
REST and catch up on some of the things that I need to catch up on. Honestly, I should do that this weekend!
Do some work, go to the gym, cook dinner, plan a fun weekend event, go to bed early. I fear I am fully institutionalized at this point.
Catch up on schoolwork. If I truly finished everything and have nothing to do I will probably rock climb, hike, exercise a bit. Haven't done those things in a while
24 hours is not enough time to recover from the burnout I get from my 3 part time jobs.
Better than nothing though right
What would I want to do?
-
Cut down the 2 larger trees and 10 mini trees (originally hedges) that we marked for removal
-
deep clean the house
-
climb in the crawlspace and drill the pipe brackets I need to
-
finally go weightlifting after months of no time or willpower
-
play saxophone
-
meditate
-
go for a long run
-
play with my dog and go adventuring for an hour or 2
-
cook a new meal I haven't tried before
-
watch a movie with my girlfriend
-
take an edible
-
play some games with the boys
What would I likely do?
-
sleep
-
mow the grass and rake leaves
-
play rimworld
-
watch Castle with my girlfriend
-
eat leftovers
Look at this guy mowing his grass
Id do nothing for as long as I could, only way for me to fight the burnout. Most weekends I can just about fit enough nothing time to soothe the tism enough get my necessary self and house upkeep chores done. Every time I get a 3 day weekend, I find myself productive as hell on the third day. Otherwise I need to catch up on my nothing.
Rock climb
Playing Factorio
I don't have 24 free hours, but damn if iam going to try to spend them all on Factorio anyway!
The factory must grow!
Same probably. I've got a young child now so Factorio is not a responsible hobby to pick up again.
Also playing Factorio.
What do you mean? I have every Friday off! :-)
I'll probably watch just another season of Star Trek - TNG...
I've been unemployed for the last few months. I'm single, no kids. I've had more of these 24 hrs of uninterrupted free time than I'd care for. Honestly, sounds wild, but I hate it now.
I've been in that situation. At first it's kinda nice being able to sleep in without worry for a little bit. But after a while it really starts to drive you crazy just not having anything to do with your time. That restlessness quickly turns into depression.
Iβve been unemployed for around six months, thatβs actually part of why I asked is to see what other people do with so much free time.
I had this problem back in the great recession and joined habitat for humanity. Met some weirdos, was pretty good.
New skills? I spend my free time contributing to FOSS projects to pick up new things, or learning CAD, or soldering, on and on. Always been pretty good at filling my time, just need to learn the relaxing part.
I was out for ~6 months a while back. I put a schedule on my calendar, so every day had some structure. Get up at 8 or 9, breakfast, practice an instrument, game time, lunch, write applications, gym, dinner.
Did the same through the lockdowns and some structure really helps.
Agreed. I was doing pretty well the first 2 months or so, but I crashed into a bit of a delayed depressive episode over it all the last month. I'll get sick of my own moping and wrangle myself again soon.

I am kind of unemployed and just maintaining the house in order would take away those 24h in a breeze. Keep your house pretty, in order and well supplied.
Sleep
Wondering what to do because decision paralysis.
Assuming I was in the mood, have all the energy and mental focus I want I'd think about how to fix my home setup.
Bonus points if I would understand everything perfectly and didnt have a need to learn all intricacies beforehand

Sleep
yep. anyone that doesn't say recuperate already has enough free time to do whatever it is they're responding to this thread with.
I'm always making big plans on my business trips about all the stuff I'll do, when I'm back home
Back home I usually just crash for 2-5 days and can't do much anyway - and then work starts again to stress enough, because of all the postponing, to get me up again
Not really a fun cycle...
Just lost my job so I have this time. I want to travel a bit later, but until I can leave, I'm doing nothing at all. Years of fulltime work just killed off all social life, any motivation. Now that I'm finally free, I feel so dead inside that I just want to do absolutely nothing for a while.
Been there done that! 10years in company, we got downsized, got thrown away like a trash. Took months to deal with emotions and set myself to do anything. In the end I realized that I was relying on job to be an anchor in my life that everything was revolving around. Losing that anchor forced me to search for a new one, more reliable and something that I can control and that makes me better.
I started with cleaning my house, then deep cleaning shelves and such, then basement, etc. Got interested in working out, and started doing pushups and such. I learned that I was missing that - creating my own schedule, having goals of my own. It was scary at first, ngl.
Trying to do small steps, very small sometimes, that improves your situation bit by bit is what I found helps me with being overwhelmed.
Wish you all the best, I hope you recover soon and find better job soon :)
Probably just set up my github page. I've been having some trouble with it.
I'd take my partner somewhere nice I think. Haven't had the time recently
I go camping for an additional night. I already planned to bike and camp to the closest national park one last time before winter, this weekend, but I would gladly add one night to the trip and go right now instead of tomorrow.
