Oy - if only I had free time. Time is my biggest enemy.

AND the reason I am less than maximally productive - everything takes more time than I have.

Not for me. I get lots of things done in a day.

I get a lot done during the day, and I also have a lot of free time, and my free time is spent here.

Working gives me less free time and I go for my walks but now it's getting too cold out for that now. I also do cooking on Thursdays usually and I am starting to do some on my own. Not all of it is cooking, some of it is just making it because you don't use a stove or oven.

When I'm not at school (I'm in year 10 doing GCSEs now) I have to much time. Normally spent on the computer (WAAAAAY to much time on the computer, I rarely leave my room) looking on a generator website (Look on google "seventhsanctum") to give me ideas for stories/mods to work on. I also listen to lots of music (Game OST oddly enough) while making maps for computer games and stuff.
So yeah I have to much spare time :(

I'm unemployed, so yeah. But I spend most of my time productively.

Computer science student as well... however I don't know how much it differs from the US definition, but it's not so bad actually, at least for me. Most homework consists of some reading (which rarely is nescessary as many programming books are written as a sort of reference on how to do stuff) for the next day.
It's only really when doing projects it gets tough sometimes, especially with larger projects for exams etc.

I have a lot of spare time, especially now that I am on holiday, and I generally spend a lot of time wandering about the house, wondering what to do... it does not help that I have great difficulty getting to sleep, I recently finished my book and I get bored easily.

It also gets me thinking about my problems, and makes me feel stressed.

On the bright side (why am I saying that?!) I get a lot of time to philosophise.

it is not that most of us have more free time, but that our priorities are different, in that instead of socializing f2f IRL, we take that block of time and instead do other things with it that are more important to us. other normal folk see this and get the impression that we have all this freetime and that none of us must be working for a living- but they are [largely] mistaken.

Free time is good. It lets you think about what you want to do next, or read, or even watch trash TV if you want to. No one's productive 100% of the time, so you might as well enjoy your unproductive moments and not feel guilty about them.

I call resting productive, so I'm always either doing something or resting, so 100% productive.

I have a lot of free time because I don't have much of a life or much to do with it lol. At the same time, I don't usually feel like I have a lot of free time & sometimes I still feel rushed.
