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!

In no particular order:

Finally do those after-class reading + tutoring sessions for kids in my daughter's school.
Sign up for shifts on the "Good-Night-Bus" in my local town that looks after homeless people during night-time.
Play hand-pan, guitar & other random instruments at local relaxation spots to add to the overall atmosphere of "the good life"
regularly offer my handymen skills to my neighborhood via local web-platform and also contribute to "Repair-Cafés" as a helping hand
Find a local community-garden project to help out at so that the city stays 0.1% greener than without me
Offer my yet-currently-relevant professional skills (Frontend / WebPerf / CDNs / DevOps) to a NGO that couldn't usually afford my wages (again: preferably something relevant to my region to feel a sense of impact)
Keep maintaining my OpenSource repositories and publish new ideas ASAP to prevent Software Patents
