There are lots of things that I do day to day that I’m sure some would consider a waste of time.

I spend a lot of time scrolling and posting on different social media apps. I sleep a lot. I watch a lot of TV. On good days I write a lot.

Some if not all of these things that I do can be seen as a waste of time, particularly the sleeping. But they are all things I enjoy doing, therefore I don’t think that they are. The sleeping is the one that can cause me the most problems, it can make those around me think that I am lazy or that I waste time. But I have somewhat explained this in my previous post.

There are other things I do, like looking for work or writing more professional pieces which I’m sure fit the realm of being productive. And as is usually always the way doing these things is distinctly less enjoyable, but as an adult whatever that may mean, I attempt to do them anyway.

But I spend more time doing the things I enjoy. Not least because I have the time, if not the energy, due to my lack of employment. Some would see this as being lucky, to have the free time, I tend to disagree however as I want to work. And I am trying to find work that fits into my life and the control I have of it, even if this means I have less energy to do the things I want.

Anyway, I got a little distracted there, I apologies. This post is really intended to say that as long as you enjoy doing something it is not a waste of time. No matter what you spend your time doing, or what others may tell you about what you spend your time doing.
