Do you try to use your free time productively?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

These days, in my free time, I have been studying to improve my Chinese, I already speak Intermediate Chinese,

Now want to improve and later on pass Chinese Language Proficiency Test.

[IslaTheWitch]

What is a free time? :D

If I finally have a free afternoon or even better a whole day I have so many things I want to catch up with that I'm not sure I can squeeze there anything more.

There are 7 books looking at me every evening and I try to avoid those accusatory gazes.

2 novels stuck on some more or less raw state...

Manhwa subscriptions are waiting for me to catch up with my favorite comics.

Jujutsu Kaisen and some other series (anime or not)...

There is unlimited number of updates in my technology stack I should take a look at...

In addition my German and English need constant improvements...

As a person who sleeps 4-6hrs/day I could always use a nap or two...

I'm not sure if a free time is a good thing :D

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Haha, one of the upsides of breaking a leg is it leaves you with a lot of free time for a while.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I pictures those books gazing at you 😂 I had a few creepy looks from my books too.

Finally found some time to start reading again.

[IslaTheWitch]

Yeah... books can be very persistent. Congratulations on your Chinese. I was thinking of picking additional language to my collection. But then I was hit by realization that to really understand and be able to express myself I would need a few years at least...
Maybe I should focus on mastering what I already know? ugh...

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Additional language would be wonderful! Mom speaks 6 languages.

She spoke German, Russian and Georgian and started learning English at 35, she now speaks decent English.

She started learning Italian at 40, she speaks Intermediate Italian and started learning Chinese, 3 years ago at 45, she’s a beginner there haha

I think it’s great to always keep learning!

Mastering what you already know sounds wise as well.

I don't have a ton of free time but I consider things that bring me joy to be productive. I read for fun or sometimes just watch things that make me laugh. I'm learning Spanish and I try to spend time outdoors doing something physically active.

[molonski2]

Gee , I wish I could say yes , and Id love to speak better Thai , basic only..

I'd say I do sometimes , generally it will be research for my investments , which is a hobby anyhow , or sometimes cleaning , or training , thats all productive , but quite honestly I waste a lot of time..

I love movies too , but I dont consider that waste.

What is this "free time" you speak of?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Come and I’ll show you

[msc545]

Threaten me with a good time !

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Do good threats exist?

[msc545]

Apparently they do

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Reading blacksmithing books and compiling tools.

[strateguy632]

job time is productive enough, free time is for fun.

[rachel776]

haha yes my 7 minutes a day of free time i get a lot done 🤷‍♀️

[Chandelier8]

Yes, educating 'beta boys' who think they're alpha-giants. @ChicoFromThe305

[AviatorTom]

Sometimes Yes. Other times, I just like to relax.

[Ironic_Method]

Nope. I just relax and find something or someone fun to do.

[Sparkie460]

I don't get much of it but when I do I try to relax

[TonyMetal___86]

In my age, free time means to enjoy myself and have some rest, nothing more!

[KrakenAttackin]

"Free time"... Lately that has been mon existent. Or when I have free time I sleep more.

[shortster]

If by try you mean endlessly scroll through G@G randomly answering questions. Then yes.

[love_conquers_lust]

Try. But I think I fail too much.

[Sonorous]

Somewhat. But by my standards though.

[Thestupidusername]

As much as I can yes until I get too tired

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes, I have to I’m a mom

[LavLavLuv]

Most of the time, yes

[HouseMoat]

Why are you learning chinese?

[RedInnocent68]

[Aiden_111]
