Playing Factorio
The factory must grow!
Also playing Factorio.
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.
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.
Yeah you’ll get it :)
and if you don’t, ask for help. Most people can relate anyway.
I’ve been unemployed for around six months, that’s actually part of why I asked is to see what other people do with so much free time.
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.

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.
Probably just set up my github page. I’ve been having some trouble with it.

As someone who gets fairly frequent migraines (thankfully not chronic), thank you for being considerate of other migraine sufferers.
If I may ask, what kind of music, what would you read, or what movies?

I happen to have a 50% exam tomorrow, that would be awesome to have. copium
24 hours is not enough time to recover from the burnout I get from my 3 part time jobs.
Better than nothing though right
I’d take my partner somewhere nice I think. Haven’t had the time recently
Take two edibles and enjoy a quiet afternoon.
Finally finish my first baldurs gate 3 playthrough. And spend the rest of the time achievement hunting by going back through my save states.
They said 24 hours not 80, lol.
I have three quests left in my plathrough. I’m sure I can do that in 24.
kill gortash, free orpheus, destroy netherbrain
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.
