when people ask, "what do you do in your free time", i struggle with a creative answer. yes, i enjoy to travel and take photos. i also tend to be crafty and often scrapbook among other artistic revenues. however, when it really comes down to "free time" i'm limited as to what i actually do. free time for me typically consists of sleeping, napping, or trying to cram more things into the day. i love playing with my dogs, but this needs to be done, regardless if i have free time to do it... i have graduate school, i work a stressful job for a minimum of forty hours a week, and i commute, a lot. so when i have a minute or two, i enjoy doing nothing.
something has to give, but i'm just not sure what. i would love to have a day off, without using it to cram everything i don’t have time into one eight hour day. yesterday was my "day off" (of work) so i woke up early, cleaned the house, did six loads of laundry, walked the dog, got my oil changed, got the dogs licensed, mailed a package, went to the bank, all before my six pm night class, which of course i needed to commute to. (did i mention monday's "off" still mean i have rounds from 2:30-3:30, which requires me to drive to work?)
i would like to have time to... learn to play the piano, read a book for leisure, create a photography portfolio, and explore my hobbies and interest. but whenever i get a moment or two of free time, i am usually two exhausted to do anything.
so how is one to make time, with no time?
