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'd do nothing. Sleep as long as I want, go to bed when I want. Being online, being offline, it really does not matter. Like holidays, but forever.

No offense but wouldn't that be kinda boring (say doing nothing for 10 years)? Maybe you also mean to do other things but didn't mention.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

It never got boring whenever I did this in the past (i.e. every holidays and vacations). So I'd say, no.

Once I've recovered from it all and not tired all the time I suppose I'd fix up the house, gardening, designing intricate sandwiches and cocktails and other drinks, write, play video games, hang out with friends, eat, drink, walk, travel... But like 5 days a week I'm gonna hang back, chill, watch tv, play video games (I have a huge backlog even though I game plenty).

Maybe. But feeling bored would be an amazing feeling for a change.
