On an ideal non-workday with no appointments or commitments away from home, approximately how many minutes would you like to devote to the following activities (which can of course overlap, as multi-tasking is permitted/assumed):
[1] gardening
[2] listening to spoken word radio
[3] cooking (perhaps from interesting recipe books)
[4] jogging or walking or cycling
[5] reading
[6] listening to music
Add other activities as you see fit.

Originally posted by FMFNo no no. That's what I do all the time. It only takes a moment though. You'd be amazed at how many moments there are in a day.
How many minutes in the ideal non-work day? And how many minutes for some other so there can be some feel of how much time this takes up, ideally, relative to mother activities?

Originally posted by josephwI seem to be in a creative bent on guitar and mandolin lately so have been devoting a lot of free time to writing tunes and recording them on my marvelous little Tascam WR44DL 4 track pocket recorder. What a great device. I wish I had one when I had my band Southwind. I also read a lot, science fiction and science stuff. I also like to look at the stars with my 20X80 superbinocular, it also has sun filters so I can look for sunspots. Also chess, twixt, and go when I can find people to play those last two.

I also contemplate my long term project on gravitational lenses as it pertains to our sun.
I vacillate between thinking I am on to something and it must be bullshyte🙂
Other than that, not much.

Originally posted by sonhouseUnfortunately all I can do is sit quietly contemplating the moment listening to someone else playing the guitar. It would be great to be able to sit quietly contemplating the moment while playing the guitar. My mom thought it would be a good idea for me to learn to play the trumpet. I think she had a thing for Herb Alpert. No I don't play it.
