If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time? (lemmy.world)

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 just sleep in and play video games and be depressed. It’s not good.

I do that when I don't work but will Monday, or after the holidays. But when I actually had time as in, I'm not going to have to be back to work for a long time, I'd start picking up useful stuff. Turns out the sleep in and games/ depressive state comes from expecting to have to go back to the routine again. That's why how you react to time out when you are still pressured to have to work eventually doesn't give you a good answer to this question.

I agree with this. It takes me weeks, if not months, to really unwind.
